NH Farm Future Fund
Ensuring the conservation and viability of the Granite State's agricultural soils since 2020
The mission of the NH Farm Future Fund is to integrate farm viability planning in concert with the conservation of agricultural soils.
Since 2020, the NH Farm Future Fund has distributed over $372,000 to protect over 1,813 acres of land throughout the Granite State.
New Hampshire Farm Future Fund Case Study: Clyde Farm
"The NH Farm Future Fund is an integrated model combining agriculture production, business viability, farm succession, and conservation viability to ensure long term goals and visions are being simultaneously discussed. This model is critical to assist the landowners, farmers, families, and land trusts to truly ensure all parties best interests and intentions are on the table.
The collaboration of partners, land trusts and landowners has been instrumental in the projects to date. This model goes beyond just protecting the land, it is also protecting the future farmers as it provides more insight to long-term opportunities or challenges. The discussions between the partners, land trusts and landowners is the closest thing to a crystal ball as we can get.
The support from funders has enabled the program to evolve, identify critical aspects and develop best practices. I see firsthand how the funders support has helped farmers develop confidence about decisions they are making during the easement process."
Now more than ever, it is crucial to conserve farmland and support local farm businesses.
