For Landseekers

Every farmer has a unique story- it is our business to get to know yours!  We want to learn about your business so we can match the best land to your situation.  Fill out the farmland application for landseekers so we can get started.

The Service for Landseekers

The farmland location and matching service through the New Entry Sustainable Farming Project (New Entry) assists qualified beginning farmers and experienced growers to locate suitable land for agricultural production. New Entry assists growers to get started or to expand the acreage of their agricultural business on available farmland in Massachusetts and surrounding Northeast states.

New Entry maintains a database of available farmland, and currently uses it to serve as a liaison between land owners and land seekers in the agricultural sector. Our areas of focus in farmland identification have mostly been in Middlesex county thus far. We are currently expanding our database to include all of Massachusetts.  We are conducting GIS (Geographic Information Systems) researchwith the NRCS and working with Agricultural Commissions to locate more open land.

New Entry can provide farmers with technical assistance in finding land to rent or to purchase. We are able to guide you through considerations you may encounter in a lease agreement and can help to connect you to low interest rate federal loan programs and federal or state cost share-incentive or conservation programs to help you get started developing a piece of farmland.
