New York Farmland Access Fund

Upstate Curious & American Farmland Trust have joined forces to empower the next generation of farmers through equitable farmland access and permanent farmland protection across New York State.

NEW YORK FARMLAND ACCESS FUND

Thanks to two lead funders and an extraordinary $1,000,000 commitment from Upstate Curious, we are raising money and asking for your buy-in to facilitate next-generation farmland protection projects in the Hudson Valley and beyond. Your support is essential to our success.

It isn't a lack of interest keeping young people from farming — it's a lack of land access. Study after study tells us that land access is the number one barrier that beginning farmers face.

The New York Farmland Access Fund will help a diverse new generation of farmers access and purchase protected farmland. These farmers will be supported by AFT's regional team to adopt and increase regenerative farming practices on their land.

With your donation we will:

Provide farmland access for 5 to 10 new farm operations in New York and provide support to historically underserved farmers, including BIPOC, LGBTQ+ and women.
Permanently protect up to 1,000 acres of irreplaceable farmland in New York state.
Support these farmers in bringing a bounty of regenerative agricultural practices to life.

We all need to eat. We all want healthy communities and clean environments. Farmers in your backyard need your help to strengthen our local and regional food systems and sustain a resilient future for generations to follow.
