Agrarian Commons

The Agrarian Commons are community land-holding entities organized by farmers, community members, 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.
