Abstract

Legal services for small-scale farms need to be made accessible, affordable, up to date, and relevant. This Essay presents three ways in which a law practice can adapt to meet the complexity of needs of small-scale farmers. These include, first, offering services in a manner both accessible and affordable to farmers; second, developing agreements with terms that match the realistic needs of farmers— specifically, farm lease agreements; and, third, developing financing arrangements that strike a balance between debt and equity financing.
