Beginning Farmer Resources
Seeking Farmers-Seeking Land Clearinghouse Seeking Farmers-Seeking Land Clearinghouse The Land Stewardship Project is committed to helping make the connections necessary to getting more successful beginning farmers on the land. As part of our work in this area, we have developed a clearinghouse where beginning farmers can advertise their desire to rent or buy farmland, as well as work on a farm as an intern or regular employee. We also make it possible for established farmers/landowners to advertise land they have for sale or rent, as well as any employment/internship/ partnership opportunities they have available. Below are four easy forms in Word format that you can download and fill out. The completed forms can be e-mailed to LSP's Parker Forsell at parker@landstewardshipproject.org. They can also be sent through U.S. Mail to: Parker Forsell, LSP, P.O. Box 130, Lewiston, MN 55952. If you have any questions, e-mail Forsell or call 507-523-3366.
