About Lancaster Farmland Trust

Saving our farmland. Before it's too late. Each year, Lancaster loses more than 3,000 acres of farmland to shopping malls, warehouses, business complexes, and housing developments. That’s eight acres today, eight acres tomorrow, and eight acres every day of the year. Lancaster Farmland Trust is dedicated to helping farmers of all backgrounds preserve their farms and way of life for future generations. 300,000 acres of Lancaster farmland are still unprotected. And with our county’s population projected to grow by 6.3% over the next 20 years, we’re about to be faced with the most intense development pressure in our community’s history. Once our farmland is paved over, we can never get it back. That’s why it’s so critical to save the acres we have left. So our farms, soil, water, and roots are protected for all. We’re on a mission to vigorously accelerate the permanent protection and stewardship of farmland in Lancaster County. As one of the oldest, most successful farmland preservation orgs in the country, we’ve protected more than 37,000 acres of farmland to date. But our work is far from over—and we need your help to save Lancaster’s precious farmland.
