Farmland Trust Offers “Climate Consults” for Farmers

MFT Logo

The Maine Farmland Trust Climate Resilience Team is offering “climate consults,” which are free, on-farm technical assistance to farmers who are facing climate-related challenges on their farms, such as drought, flooding, soil erosion, etc.

Areas of expertise include: agroecology, ecological design, grazing and pasture management, IPM, nutrient and manure management, and more. While the team offers more in-depth planning through other services, the climate consult program is for farmers seeking fast, practical support. The consults are available from June to October.

What to Expect:

  • A time commitment of up to two hours for a one-time visit
  • Assessment of key climate risks on the farm
  • Talking through strategies for adaptation and mitigation
  • A post-visit consult report with analysis, maps, and other materials tailored to the farm

These consults are open to all farms in Maine. Spots are limited and scheduled on a first-come, first-served basis. 

Fill out the online inquiry form to get started at mainefarmlandtrust.org/climate-consult.
