How would you feel if you personally helped to keep developers’ bullbozers off two acres of productive farmland? As good as biting into freshly harvested fruit and vegetables or creating family memories at a Christmas tree farm! And when you support American Farmland Trust, that’s exactly what you are doing.
Give today to protect working farms and ranches.
In 2008, we need your help to reach an ambitious goal—we’re going to work together with state and local partners, community leaders, and farmers and ranchers to permanently protect 140,000 acres of pastures, orchards and croplands—so they will keep producing fresh and healthy food (and trees!) for families all across the country.
We need to act fast, because every day we’re losing 3,000 acres of our best working lands.
Give today to protect working farms and ranches.
Although our goal is ambitious, we’ll reach it with your support. To date, we’ve helped permanently protect nearly two million acres of farmland. That’s more than two acres each year for you and every other person who subscribes to our e-mail list.
At your next holiday party, stop for a moment and think about where all that delicious food came from. Some of it probably came from a local farm that’s still in business because somebody decided to make a difference. Somebody like you.
Give today to protect working farms and ranches.
| Sincerely, 
Ralph Grossi
President
American Farmland Trust
