Just getting back to posting after a week long vacation in Maine and I am finding quite a few more local food system obstacle-related articles than I care to see all at the same time. I can say with confidence that is land affordability for small-scale agriculture uses is not isolated to any one region in the US. The same problem exists here in Colorado, and many other states, for any land that is relatively close to metropolitan areas.
Their affordable lease in New Paltz, N.Y., negotiated in 2015 with the help of a farming nonprofit, had just ended, and they were suddenly thrust into a market where buyers were paying above asking price. “Folks who were trying to leave the city were making all-cash offers,” Ms. Morley recalled.
