Succession Planning For Your Farm: What Happens Next?

For years you’ve been managing and farming the family farm or your well-established CSA or market garden… but then what? Have you thought about succession? On top of economic struggles we are also seeing larger farms, market gardens and CSAs struggle because succession hasn’t been thought through. This session will explore the whys and wherefores of succession planning. You’ll hear from three people with three very different examples of how it can be done and explore the various ways we can mitigate against a negative impact when the time comes for you to move on or retire.
