Help Preserve Food Security for Generations
With the support of our community, the Community Farm Land Trust preserves farmland forever. We believe our supporters are investing in our local farmers and our community's food security. "South Sound communities are growing day by day. It is estimated that within the next 25 years over 100,000 people will move here and that 70% of farmland will change hands. We've already lost nearly 100,000 acres of farmland to development and other non-farming uses," states South Sound Food System Network.
Right now, we know that life for all of us has turned upside down. But we ask that you think of all the things you regularly spend money on in your daily life without a moment of thought. AND if it is at all possible, please take the latte money, the scratch ticket money, or the ice cream cone or beer money that you usually spend and consider donating to our GiveBIG campaign.
A small amout can make a big difference in uncertain times.
If you find yourself in a more financially stable situation, maybe you will consider donating a portion of your vacation money you were saving this year. Whatever contribution you're able to make helps.
Your donation, whatever the size, helps to secure food and farmland right now and for generations to come. Because of your support, you can rest easy knowing that your loved ones will have food to share on their tables for the everyday meals, the special celebrations, the BBQs, and the holiday meals for years to come.

From a 1 acre urban garden that produces over 10,000 pounds of food a year to hundred acre parcels associated with dairies or livestock production, Thurston county has – and needs – a diversity of farms and farmers. Farmland provides local foods, local economies, and open space. Future plans for the county define how many new roads, sewers, and schools will be needed, but what about farmland? As Thurston County continues to grow, development pressure on farmland will only increase.
