SUMMARY:May 26: Farm Transfer 101 Webinar Supports the Future of Farming in the San Juan Islands
DESCRIPTION:Farm Transfer Webinar\n\n\n\nSAN JUAN COUNTY\, WA — The San Juan Islands Agricultural Guild and WSU San Juan County Extension invite farmers\, landowners\, and community members to attend Farm Transfer 101: Planning for the Future of Your Farm in the San Juan Islands\, a 1.5-hour introductory webinar focused on farm succession and transition planning. \n\n\n\nThe webinar will be held on Tuesday\, May 26 from 12:00–1:30 PM and is open to anyone interested in the future of farmland in the San Juan Islands. Participants can register by completing the online form: https://forms.gle/tutsrYBVkK5eAj9H6 \n\n\n\nAs farmland access and affordability continue to shape the future of agriculture in the islands\, many farmers and landowners are asking: what happens next for my farm? This webinar offers a practical starting point for navigating the transfer of land\, farm businesses\, and knowledge—whether within a family or to a new generation of farmers. \n\n\n\nParticipants will gain an overview of the farm transfer process\, including how to get started\, common challenges\, and strategies for aligning decisions with long-term goals and values. The session will also highlight resources available across Washington State\, including technical assistance\, financing tools\, and facilitation support to help guide productive conversations and lasting agreements. \n\n\n\nThe webinar will be led by Elizabeth Bragg\, Land Transfer Specialist with American Farmland Trust in the Pacific Northwest. Bragg has supported more than 50 farmers\, ranchers\, and landowners in navigating succession and transition planning. She also brings firsthand experience as a farmer and worker-owner at Long Hearing Farm\, where she is actively engaged in a multi-year farm transition process. \n\n\n\n“This session is about helping people take that first step\,” said Bragg. “Farm transfer can feel overwhelming\, but with the right tools and support\, it becomes a process that reflects your values and supports the long-term future of the land and your community.” \n\n\n\nThis webinar is the first in a series to be offered throughout the year\, exploring farm transfer and succession in greater depth\, and is designed for farm owners considering succession\, farmers currently navigating a transition\, beginning farmers seeking land access\, and families or partners involved in farm decision-making. \n\n\n\nFor more information\, contact WSU San Juan Extension Ag Program Coordinator\, Rebecca Moore at rebecca.moore1@wsu.edu. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n Washington State University Extension programs and employment are available to all without discrimination. Evidence of noncompliance may be reported through your local WSU Extension office. Reasonable accommodations will be made for persons with disabilities and special needs who contact Rebecca Moore at rebecca.moore1@wsu.edu at least two weeks prior to the event.
