Farms

Are you a farmer interested in preserving your farm for generations to come?

                            (c) Nigel Kent

As a farmer, you know the unique value of your land, its resources, its history, the time and care you spend on good stewardship.  You may have a great concern for its future.  How can you ensure your land is available for farming?

Preserving your farmland starts with your vision for its future. It also involves your retirement needs, your tax circumstances, and the value of the land.  We, at Genesee Land Trust, can guide you through this planning process, clearly describing to you the preservation tools we use and outlining any possible costs.

For information, please contact Genesee Land Trust's executive director, Gay Mills, at (585) 256-2130 or email her at gmills@geneseelandtrust.org
