American Farmland Trust is pleased to offer two opportunities for you to gather with us on Martha's Vineyard.
THE FUTURE OF AGRICULTURE:
An Evening with American Farmland Trust
Thursday, July 16, 2026
6 - 8:30 p.m.
Martha’s Vineyard Agricultural Society
35 Panhandle Rd, West Tisbury, MA
Join American Farmland Trust and AFT Board Chair Bob Egerton at the Martha’s Vineyard Agricultural Society for a reception and conversation with AFT President & CEO John Piotti and other special guests. Discover how AFT works to uplift and strengthen the farmers and ranchers who steward working lands – on Martha’s Vineyard, and beyond.
REGENERATIVE AGRICULTURE IN ACTION:
Field Walk at Island Grown Initiative
Friday, July 17, 2026
1 - 3 p.m.
Island Grown Farm Hub at Thimble Farm
80 Stoney Hill Road, Vineyard Haven, MA
Join American Farmland Trust for an on-farm field walk at Island Grown Initiative. AFT and IGI are partnering in multiple ways that help enhance farm viability and climate resilience through regenerative agricultural practice adoption.
For 20 years, Island Grown Initiative has worked to build a strong local food system for all on Martha’s Vineyard through farm-to-school education, food access programs that support more than 1 in 5 year-round residents, and a 42-acre regenerative farm that helps heal the environment while producing abundant food for the community.
Space is limited, so sign up to join us by July 6 for one or both events.
