In Virginia the organization (Land Trust, Nature Conservancy or other non profit) that originally acquired the conservation easement can sell it to another similar non profit. Some of the easement owners are more lenient about allowing a farmer to continue business as usual, others are more strict and will sue if they believe the farmer is violating the contract. A woman bought a farm near Warrenton Virginia which had a conservation easement. The woman continued farming operations similar to the previous owner. She started having farm themed birthday parties for children as an additional source of income. Her easement was sold, and the new easement owner challenged her right to have the birthday parties. The legal challenge was very expensive and stressful for the woman farm owner. I think she eventually prevailed in the legal system, but had to pay a lot of high priced attorneys to defend her right to have a simple type of farm related activity. Virginia is one of the less favorable states to own land under a conservation easement, because what will happen when the easement is sold is unpredictable and could make various types of land use and activity subject to a grey area legal challenge. I would walk away and look for land not under a conservation easement.
