Lancaster Farmland Trust

We are a private, nonprofit organization with the mission of preserving agriculture and stewarding the land. Our volunteer Board of Trustees understands the cultural and economic importance of protecting working lands. Our funding comes through donations from private individuals and businesses, and grants from various private and public organizations and foundations.

Our mission is to vigorously accelerate permanent protection and stewardship of farmland. We envision a future where our farms, soil, water, and roots are protected for all. We value a lasting commitment to farmers and sustainable famers, land preservation for thriving communities and a resilient environment, meaningful engagement of Lancaster's broader community, enduring relationships built on trust, collaboration for collective action and impact, and innovative thinking and continuous improvement.
