Please bring a BOS at pickup.All Proceeds go to The Farmers Land TrustThe Farmers Land Trust — It's a national 501(c)(3) nonprofit based in Cookeville, Tennessee, founded in 2023 by co-executive directors Kristina Villa and Ian McSweeney. The core idea is treating farmland as a shared community resource instead of a commodity to be developed or flipped. ThefarmerslandtrustFarm and DairyThe way it works: the nonprofit buys farmland through fundraising and sets up a "Farmland Commons" — a community-controlled nonprofit entity that holds the title and then leases the ground to a next-generation farmer under a 99-year agreement. A community board including nonprofit partners and the farmer oversees the lease, and the farmer manages and lives on the land. Terms are meant to be secure, affordable, and equitable, with the land worked using chemical-free, regenerative practices. Farm and DairyLand Trust AllianceIt solves two problems at once — an aging farmer with no succession plan and no desire to see the place subdivided, and a younger farmer who can't afford to buy in. They work with CSA, biodynamic, and organic operations, Indigenous communities practicing cultural stewardship, and faith communities looking to transition land into community ownership. They also provide education for groups wanting to set up their own Farmland Commons. No Reserve!-- Location --Hudson, NY.-- Contact -- Specialist: Dale Nissley, 574-821-6014.
