About The Center
 
Our Mission: To provide information, referrals and consultations to farmers, for plans that will secure and maintain farming�s important role in Pennsylvania�s economy.
Our Vision: For the Center to join with farmers to actively engage in comprehensive planning that will address all aspects of their vocation. Through this joint planning effort, we will continue the legacy of innovative responses to challenges, to remain competitive in today�s economy, while enhancing natural resources for future generations.
Our Role: When a farmer is planning a transition, there are a lot of obvious, and some not-so-obvious, considerations.  In some cases, the resources needed may be difficult to secure.  Through the Center for Farm Transitions, each farmer will receive information, referrals and consultations regarding his or her distinct situation.  Through assisting farmers plan for their future, we can assure the future of agriculture in Pennsylvania. 
 
Our Resources: The resources we offer are designed for you if you are:
  • A beginning farmer with no existing operation.
  • The next generation on a family farm who will be ascending to a management role.
  • The retiring farmer who may or may not plan on transferring the farm operation to the next generation.
  • A farmer relocating from either within or outside of Pennsylvania.
  • The farmer who by either choice or necessity is leaving the farm for another career.
  • And those who wish to, expand their farms, develop new and different areas to complement their existing operation, or convert their operation to a completely new farming venture. 
 
The Center for Farm Transitions provides a one-stop source of information and services to Pennsylvania farmers who are in transition. Contact Us today to learn more about how we can be of assistance to you.
