Getting started with land sharing
New to co-farming? Here's how to find land or list yours, step by step.
What is land sharing?
Land sharing is when a landholder lets someone else use their land for farming, grazing, or other agricultural purposes. It's a way to get land into productive use without selling it, and a way for new growers to get started without buying property.
For landholders
- List your land on CoFarming with photos, size, soil and water details.
- Review inquiries from people who want to use your land.
- Choose who you share with, on your terms and timeline.
- Use an agreement so both sides know where they stand. See our agreement templates.
For land seekers
- Search the map for land that fits what you need.
- Save searches to get alerts when matching land is listed.
- Send a thoughtful inquiry with a clear intro about who you are and what you want to do.
- Meet and agree on terms before you start.
CoFarming is free to use for everyone. There are no fees, no commissions, and no subscriptions.
