Our Services
We serve farmers, ranchers & fishers with a focus on core business fundamentals: access to appropriate financing, specialized business education, and access to land and high-quality land tenure.
What We Do
Our clients benefit from affordable loans, learning alongside other farmers and fishers, and getting one-on-one technical assistance. Investing in a career producing food has always been risky but also highly rewarding. We have shaped our programs to help people reduce risk and gain access to support for establishing resilient farm, ranch, and fishing businesses.

Land Access
Create good land tenure
Many farmers and ranchers struggle to access land or cannot achieve secure land tenure. Our custom-built Land Portal connects landseekers and landholders.
Search for land and create connections
The Land Portal helps you search for land but it’s also about creating relationships and supporting good land tenure. The enrollment process includes landseekers demonstrating their interests and experience.
More than a land listing service
Land listings are valuable opportunities for the people we serve. With our Land Portal you can learn about and connect with landseekers. Each land listing is evaluated by staff to help demonstrate its value.
Agreement-Building Services
Create stable land tenure
Do you need a better land tenure agreement? We can help develop and negotiate land tenure and other agreements.
Win-win solutions
We clarify needs and expectations from both parties to build an equitable land tenure or sale-of-business agreement.
Every situation is truly unique
There are no one-size-fits-all solutions to quality land tenure. Our tools can address a wide variety of concerns.
“I hand-wrote leases myself, I made them up out of my brain with nothing, because the landowner wanted something simple. He wanted one paragraph. But this arrangement [with Bear Yuba Land Trust & supported by FarmLink] is much more comprehensive.”
