Agrarian Commons
The Agrarian Commons initiative is a collaborative, community-led endeavor working to develop community land ownership to support next-generation farmers.

The commons are nonprofit land-holding entities connected to farmers and Agrarian Trust.
Farmers operate independent farming enterprises with land security through the commons.
Agrarian Trust leverages national resources and capital to support local land-holding and investment in local agriculture.
A commons permanently removes land and assets from commoditized markets and conveys long-term, affordable tenure to benefit farmers and their communities.
Agrarian Trust has legal resources such as land purchase and donation agreements and stewardship agreements, as well as state-specific legal counsel, and is actively engaged in real estate due diligence and fundraising for farm acquisition and investment.
Funding comes from a combination of fundraisers, grants, major gifts from donors (land and capital), donor advised funds, and investment capital from mission-aligned investors.
