Our Working Farmland Protection Program provides current and future generations of farmers with access to farmland in East Multnomah County and is helping make land for farming more affordable. One way we do this is by buying farm properties with no clear succession plan – like this property – and then reselling them to farmers at a discount. This property will be sold with a working farmland easement significantly reducing the list price. The easement will ensure the farm remains in farmer ownership, continues to be actively farmed, and remains affordable to future generations of farmers.

Online information session 10 a.m. September 5^th. Register here.
