Agriculture land for farming purposes can be obtained in a variety of ways.

Prior to submitting an application for Crown lands for agricultural use, you are required to consult with the Agriculture Development Officer (ADO) responsible for your region (ADO Contact Information).

Applications for agricultural use of Crown lands intended for personal, non-commercial purposes (i.e., agricultural products that are not for sale or profit) must include a 5-Year Farm Development Plan.

Applications for the agricultural use of Crown lands for commercial purposes (i.e., involving the sale of or profit from agricultural products) must include both the 5-Year Farm Development Plan and the  Commercial Farm Business Plan.
