Changing Hands Land Connections Workshop

Brought to you by Tualatin SWCD and Oregon Farm Corps

Are you a landholder who wants to sell or lease your agricultural land or business? Or are you a farmer and rancher who wishes to access land? Don't miss this opportunity to connect with and meet other farmers who just might be the missing piece of your farmland puzzle!

This half-day workshop will begin with a short skill-building course on elevator-pitch writing. You’ll learn ways to articulate what you’re looking for—as well as what you bring to the table. In the second half, the focus will turn to the group, where you’ll work through a facilitated session of networking for effective and meaningful connection. Whether you’re a landholder or a landseeker, come prepared to ask questions and share your experiences. You’re bound to make a surprising number of connections—and learn something new about yourself and community along the way.

The workshop will end with a boxed lunch from Bellyful Catering. Staff members from OFC and Tualatin SWCD will be available to chat and answer your questions.

Come prepared to ask questions, share your experiences, and leave with new friends and collaborators! Feel free to share this event with friends and neighbors who might be interested.
