Farm Transfer 101: Planning for the Future of your Farm in the San Juan Islands

May 26th

12:00-1:30pm

Webinar via Zoom

Farms in the San Juan Islands face unique opportunities and challenges when it comes to transition and succession—from high land values and limited availability to a strong culture of stewardship and community connection. This 1.5-hour webinar offers a practical, locally grounded introduction to the farm transfer process, whether you are planning ahead, navigating a current transition, or just beginning to explore your options.

The webinar will be led by Elizabeth Bragg of American Farmland Trust, who brings both professional expertise and lived experience navigating farm transition.
