This workshop is intended to provide more information to landowners potentially interested in renting out portions of their agricultural lands to small-scale growers. Workshop activities will include a short presentation by City staff, and staff from organizations that could potentially serve as a “land manager”, managing small-scale growers and taking care of all related logistics (if desired by the landowner). Additionally, City landowners that have rented out their land to small-scale growers in the recent past will provide their perspective on this experience.
