About:
The North Coast Land Match Program cultivates the future of farming in Humboldt, Del Norte, and Tribal Lands by successfully linking farmers with available land and providing support and guidance in navigating the complexities of farmland access, tenure, and transfer. Through our collaborative approach, we tailor solutions to achieve family, farm business, and community goals.
Local agricultural lands are a precious resource, and it can be challenging for farmers to find a place to grow food. The North Coast Land Match program helps connect farmers, land seekers, with land-owners, land holders to provide more access to farmland, and to preserve the agricultural landscapes in our community.
We envision a vibrant landscape of working farms managed by thriving farmers. Entire communities will benefit from increased farming opportunities, healthy lands, and a more secure food supply. Through innovation, education, advocacy and consulting the North Coast Land Match Program is transforming how farmers get on to, hold, and transfer farmland in the North Coast Region of California.
