You made Farms Forever 2017
a resounding success!​


The Farms Forever benefit was a great success, bringing together our community to celebrate and raise over $34,000 for the mission of preserving local farmland and supporting farmers.


It takes the whole community, each giving what they can, to preserve our local farmland.

Thank You!

Additional Gratitude to our Sponsors: 

Without your support both at the event and throughout the year we would not be able to make this event happen!
