Join us in celebrating local businesses supporting farmland preservation in the South Sound! The Community Farm Land Trust (CFLT) is excited to be hosting the 6th annual LOCALvore event in Olympia, WA on Wednesday, May 6th. LOCALvore is a Shop/Dine/Drink Out Event where local businesses have committed to donating a portion of their sales for the day to CFLT.

This event showcases the importance of keeping your dollars local, because when we invest in our local businesses and farms, they give back to our community through charity events, donations, and to non-profits like the CFLT.

Community Land Trust-Creating an Affrodable, Equitable Future

Thanks to everyone who joined us at the Washington Center of Performing Arts Black Box on February 7th for this informative event about Community Land Trusts with our partner the Thurston Housing Land Trust!

Thank you for a Successful 2023 Farms Forever!

We are so honored that our community of supporters, long-time supporters and new, showed up on August 19, 2023 at Riverbend Ranch to celebrate preserving farms forever in the South Sound. What an outstanding group of attendees, volunteers, board (former and current), and staff gathered together for the common goal of raising money for the Community Farm Land Trust. We enjoyed the engaging conversations, the connections that were made, the glasses raised, and the food we shared in community together. We whole heartedly appreciate all the financial contributions we received. A special thank you to Riverbend Ranch for the beautiful venue and setting for our event as the wonderful beef and pork supplied to us for our event.

From all of the staff and board at the Community Farm Land Trust, we thank you! Your efforts and contributions support our ongoing work by helping to secure our operating costs and allow our board and staff to continue their important work of preserving local farmland from development. In addition, the funds we raised will ensure that our Fresh from the Farm Guide remains a free resource to our community. The guide is essential in highlighting the important work, products, and services of our local farms and food culture.
