This year we will be hosting Common Ground in two locations – northern and central Illinois!  Common Ground is an event for those who have pressing needs around farmland to network with farmers and landowners, learn, gather useful resources, and share encouragement with others.

Whether you’re looking for land to start or expand your farm business, looking for a farmer to purchase, steward, or lease your land, or simply wanting to learn more about land access, we invite you to come build community, connect, and find your common ground. Both locally based events will showcase land access stories from nearby farmers and landowners, feature regional service providers, and offer opportunities to socialize with members of your community. We’re excited to replicate this popular event in a new location and look forward to making new connections in central Illinois. Mark your calendars for this event you won’t want to miss.
