The Land Portal
California FarmLink helps farmers and ranchers find land opportunities. By registering with us, landseekers and landholders can learn about each other and establish relationships that can result in good land tenure. Our Land Portal - now part of our Client Portal - is an online community to help people seeking land. It is a bilingual English-and-Spanish tool that connects people, facilitates access to land, and provides a gateway for getting assistance with land leases and other agreements.
