supporting equitable land access for the next generation
Young farmers cite access to land as the chief challenge they face in operating their farms.
We seek to decomodify farmland in our region by preserving acreage in community ownership, and allowing historically disadvantaged farmers access in affordable, equitable leases.
Without a complex knowledge of one's place and without the faithfulness to one's place on which such knowledge depends, it is inevitable that the place will be used carelessly, and eventually destroyed.
— Wendell Berry
