Note: The SAgE Program is NOT an incubator farm program. This program is designed for farmers with experience who are seeking land to run an independent farm business.

The SAgE program currently has two sites in this statewide program: SAgE Sergeantsville and SAgE Andover. In addition, the Foodshed Alliance is working to identify and establish other SAgE sites in New Jersey to provide long-term affordable access to preserved farmland for organic and regenerative farm enterprises.  The Foodshed Alliance is always looking for more land to expand the program.
