New York & New Jersey

Despite its metropolitan reputation, New York is a state made up of farms – and they need our help. Since 1990, American Farmland Trust has worked tirelessly in New York to stop the loss of farms and farmland. Working together, we can stop this loss of farmland that threatens our economy, environment, food supply, and way of life.
