Good for You,
Good for Our Community
arms are a rich part of Montgomery County’s
local culture, history and beauty. Yet they are so
much more than just pretty scenery. Farming
families, whether new to the business or long-standing,
preserve a way of life—while working landscapes
provide fresh and healthy food for today’s citizens
and future generations.
F
With a mission of preserving and connecting our
natural areas, farmland and neighborhood green spaces,
Montgomery County Lands Trust helps farmers and
Mother Nature yield healthy benefits.
Much of our best local farmland, however, continues
to be under threat of development. Many consumers—
out of habit—gravitate toward purchasing pre-packaged
foods shipped from around the world even when a
delicious, convenient alternative is possible.
The Trust and our partners believe it is important
to not only link our citizens to local food but also to
provide you with a real connection to the land where
our carrots, corn and strawberries are grown and directly
to the growers themselves.
A rising number of farm stands and farm markets exist
throughout the county. However, they will only remain
an asset for us if the land can remain in active agriculture,
thereby escaping conversion to housing developments
or shopping centers.
Our local farms will be sustained and prosper by
economic support from the surrounding families who
know about them, can locate them, and are motivated
to purchase local food.
Shop Local Save Land provides you with a guide to making
informed choices about the food you eat, with the recognition that buying local helps to maintain and support
Montgomery County’s important farming economy.
Sincerely,
Dulcie Flaharty
Executive Director
Montgomery County Lands Trust

Montgomery County Farmland
Preservation Program
Since 1990 Montgomery County has made a commitment to assisting our county’s farming communities by
creating opportunities for preserving and maintaining
working farms as a valued economic, cultural and
natural resource.
The Montgomery County Farmland Preservation
Program makes it possible for eligible farmers to hold
on to their land and to continue their farming operation by selling an agricultural easement. When the easement is sold, the owner keeps the land but no longer
has the right to build non-agricultural buildings. The land
must remain in farming in perpetuity. If the farmer later
sells the land, the new owner must continue to grow
productive crops or pastures. Applying to the program
is voluntary.
As of October 2011, 140 farms have been approved for
permanent preservation, for a total of 8,379 acres of
county farmland that will never be developed. Those
farmers who are interested in preserving their land are
encouraged to submit an application to Elizabeth Emlen.

Montgomery County
Lands Trust
Pennsylvania Farm Bureau –
Montgomery County
Montgomery County Lands Trust is your county land
trust, working to ensure that today’s citizens and generations to come enjoy the benefits of the cherished farm
landscapes and critical natural areas that are permanently
protected.
Pennsylvania Farm Bureau is a state-wide farm organization representing agriculture before government, while
providing cost-saving services and helpful information to
Pennsylvania’s farmers and rural families since 1950. Farm
Bureau is a grass roots organization whereby its members
decide and implement their policies for problem solving.
The Trust was established in 1993 to advance the county
open space program and to address the private aspects
of land preservation. Through our Montgomery County
Green Futures program we foster green, healthy
communities through open space education.
At the core of the Trust’s work are the individual land
owners who seek to protect the land they own and love.
We have directly preserved more than 2,810 acres and
have partnered with others to protect an additional
2,255 acres. Montgomery County Lands Trust proactively
preserves the best farmland, saves the most valuable
wildlife habitat, and protects the stream corridors so
important to the health of our region’s economy and
water supply.

mission. Community education programs promoting the
importance of agriculture are pursued through programs
in schools, AgDays, farm shows and county events.
Through its non-profit foundation, Pennsylvania Friends
of Agriculture, it operates six mobile agricultural education science labs which travel to schools statewide in
Pennsylvania. The Foundation also awards agricultural
scholarships which are available for the Penn State
University College of Agricultural Sciences and
Delaware Valley School of Agriculture.

Extension – Montgomery County
Montgomery County
Open Space Program
The Montgomery County Commissioners adopted the
Open Space Program in 2003 following a voter referendum. The 10-year $150 million Green Fields/Green Towns
initiative covers municipal and private organization
grants, and county open space expenditures.
Funds support farmland preservation, land acquisition,
heritage resource conservation, green infrastructure, floodplain restoration, community trails, and implementation of
the Schuylkill River Greenway.
The county has used open space funds to develop an
open space network. Projects include development and
preservation of trails and greenways; capital improvements,
planning, land acquisition and easements that expand,
protect and enhance county parks, historic sites and
natural areas; continuation and expansion of the
farmland preservation program; and implementation
of the Schuylkill River Greenway.

All universities engage in research
and teaching, but the nation’s more
than 100 land-grant colleges and
universities have a third critical
mission—extension. “Extension”
means “reaching out,” and, along
with teaching and research, landgrant institutions such as Penn
State “extend” their resources,
solving public needs with college
or university resources through
non-formal, non-credit programs.
These programs are administered through county
and regional extension offices, which bring land-grant
expertise to the most local of levels. Penn State
Cooperative Extension’s mission is to enhance quality
of life by providing informal outreach educational
opportunities to individuals, families, businesses and
communities throughout the Commonwealth.
The Extension teaches people how to solve problems,
do something better, live healthier, manage resources
wisely, and create a sustainable future.
