A Note from FarmRoots

FarmRoots is pausing active development for now. Building a farm succession marketplace from the ground up — especially solo, alongside a full-time legal career — has been a labor of love, and I'm proud of what's been built: the Succession Pressure Index map, the Claim Your Farm tools, and the conversations started with farm transition organizations across the country.

Right now, my focus is shifting to other commitments, and I want to give FarmRoots the attention it deserves rather than run it at half capacity. The platform will remain up, and I'll be back with updates when the time is right.

Thank you to everyone who signed up, reached out, and believed in the mission of keeping farmland in the hands of the next generation of farmers.
