The Community Farm Land Trust is a membership-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to preserving farmland and to keeping it farmed forever. Based in Olympia, WA, it concentrates on the areas south of Puget Sound. At present the organization consists of a working board of directors, a 3 person part-time staff, volunteers, and a general membership of about 140. In addition to its new farm acquisition, James Family Historic Farmland, CFLT has stewardship responsibility for three other farming properties: Scatter Creek Farm and Conservancy, Oyster Bay Farm, and the production ground for GRuB (Garden-Raised Bounty) a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization working with youth and communities at the intersection of food, education, and health.
CFLT’s mission includes increasing public support for local farming and local food. Each year it produces a 80-page publication, Fresh From the Farm Guide, a directory of local farm-to-table resources. The guide features almost 100 area farms selling directly to the public. Over twelve thousand copies of the directory are distributed annually to the surrounding four counties free of charge.
