Legal Food Hub

Business Description

Free Legal Services for Farmers, Food Enterpreneurs and Others

Our Mission: To provide pro bono legal assistance, workshops, and trainings to farmers, food entrepreneurs, and related organizations in order to foster a sustainable, resilient, and just food system.

Legal Food Hub is a project of the Conservation Law Foundation (CLF), which believes that a thriving New England means a thriving local food system—the region’s environment, climate, and economy depend on it.

There is a robust movement afoot to sustain New England’s communities with locally grown food, but many farmers and food entrepreneurs struggle to overcome the high legal fees associated with starting a farm or business, acquiring land, entering into contracts, transferring land to family members, or other essentials.

Legal services can be so costly that some farmers and food entrepreneurs either go without or pay more than they can afford, harming other aspects of their business. CLF seeks to help address this through the Legal Food Hub.

Offices in Massachusetts, Maine, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Connecticut and Vermont.
