Developing equitable, scalable, and inspiring solutions to protect farmland and secure tenure for farmers
Welcome to The Farmers Land Trust
The Farmers Land Trust is a national 501(c)(3) nonprofit, established in 2023, that is supporting and building the Farmland Commons movement as it takes root in communities across the country.
We directly engage with farmland protection and land access for farmers by creating and supporting Farmland Commons, which are nonprofit landholding entities that are rooted in place and governed by local communities.
The Farmers Land Trust works with farmers, ranchers, and stewards practicing Community Supported Agriculture (CSA), Biodynamic, or organic farming methods. We also partner with Indigenous communities carrying forward cultural stewardship practices, and with faith and school communities seeking to transition land to community ownership for regenerative agriculture and resilient food systems.
At the heart of this work is partnership—with people, with the land, and with the legal structures that navigate today’s realities while opening pathways to a more sustainable and equitable future.
Support our work!
As a national 501(c)(3) nonprofit, The Farmers Land Trust exists to keep farmers on the land, protect farmland for future generations, and ensure that communities have access to healthy, locally grown food. Your tax-deductible gift makes this possible—supporting small farmers, helping communities create Farmland Commons, and preserving farmland as a shared resource rather than a commodity.
