Our mission is to help farmers protect the best farmland in the world.
Founded in 2004, California Farmland Trust has been a true culmination of farmland conservation advocates all over California, coming together to protect our most fertile soil and end the trend of paving over our state’s valuable farmland. Today, CFT has protected 18,543 acres on 86 farms in seven counties. Together, we can do more.
If there is one thing that people have in common, it is that we all need to eat. California is home to agricultural excellence. A unique blend of premium, well-draining soils, water, and a Mediterranean climate makes this state home to some of the world’s most fertile and productive farmland.
With the unwavering support of the California agriculture community, forward-thinking landowners, and champions of agricultural land conservation, we are leading the way towards a new appreciation of California farmland — an invaluable resource to be protected, not paved. Together, we can make sure California farmland continues to flourish and nourish communities for generations to come.
