Preserving Farmland

Keeping viable, working farmland protected and in production. 

Acquire-Protect-
​Lifetime Leases

Picture
CFLT uses the Community Land Trust Model to preserve farmland. This means that after we buy or receive farmland as a donation, we offer farmers 99-year Agricultural Ground Leases. Farmers receive secure land tenure and the land remains in active farming forever. Farmers who have purchased or constructed housing or improvements on leased CFLT land can capture a fair value return on those investments by selling these to the next farmer.

Agricultural
​Conservation Easements

Picture
Agricultural Conservation Easements with an Option-to-Purchase can be a useful first step in protecting farmland
forever. In the right circumstances, CFLT can help landowners acquire compensation for permanently removing
development rights from their farm property and for accepting a permanent farming requirement on the land. The Community Farm Land Trust works with the owner to steward the farmland.​
