Farms & Farmers
Farmland is the most threatened land in the Berkshires and beyond. We are losing our farms at a growing pace because it’s so easily developed, and property values are skyrocketing. The current generation of farmers is aging, and new farmers often can’t afford to buy, or even lease, farmland.
BNRC helps farmers protect their lands and farm businesses. We are partnering with other organizations to develop new tools to ensure that our farms stay active and productive, and that farmers seeking access to land have the support to do so.
Together we can proect the future of Berkshire farms and farming, one farm at a time.
