Whether you are an experienced grower, a farm market devotee, a garden variety novice, or are interested in WLT’s conservation work, we invite you to learn more and become involved.

Farmland Match WLT’s Farmland Match Program helps startup farm operations and established growers expand their business with an eye toward long-term land preservation, economic health and viability. Participating area landowners who possess cultivatable land are matched with local farmers. Our farmers and landowners share a deep commitment to ensuring that Westchester County farmland remains in production and available to farmers. Learn More... |

Sugar Hill Farm is one of five area sites that grows quality produce for children, families and seniors who are hungry or at risk of hunger in Westchester County.

Protecting Farmland We identify farmland for protection by working with municipalities and local conservation groups. We help landowners protect their land and work with them to select a conservation strategy that best suits their needs and ensures the long-term protection of their land’s ecological and agricultural values. |
