Taking Action for America's Local Food

One in eight U.S. residents will experience food insecurity this year, and we’re headed straight to the source to address that—our local farms. By working with farmers to build a healthy and resilient food system, we help ensure sustainable food production now and in the future for local communities. How? With an innovative, conservation-focused investment model.

Our work was recently featured in The New York Times and Forbes.

SUMMER 2022 UPDATE

 

The Working Farms Fund will support a new and diverse generation of ambitious farmers who aim to expand food production, while permanently protecting significant farmland in critical locations across the United States that produce the highest return of food for people. We are actively fundraising for the Working Farms Fund program. Find out how you can help.
