A primary focus of The Land Mobility Service is to match potential farmers, young farmers and existing farmers to opportunities with a view to facilitating a win win collaboration / arrangement that works for everyone.
Opportunities have come up for all enterprises and locations, like farms in Ireland no two opportunities are the same, and obviously once a suitable collaborator is identified and an arrangement facilitated the opportunity goes.
Confidentiality is a key feature of the service so specific details pertaining to an opportunity are purposely kept vague. This approach protects both the land owner and potential collaborator.
Again for confidentiality not all opportunities are included here or in the Land Mobility Page on the Irish Farmers Journal. For this reason we are always seeking expression of interest for all opportunity types, this allows us to inform landowners of your potential interest. For this we need your name, contact details, location preferences, farm type preferences, what you are presently doing and some information on your farming skills and experience.
