Are we running out of farmland? -
In a land where potatoes once covered the landscape, traditional farming on the east end has given way to luxury housing over the last decades.
The Peconic Land Trust was started in 1983 to ensure the protection of Long Island’s working farms, natural lands, and heritage.
John v. H. Halsey, President and founder of the Trust was brought up on a traditional farm in Southampton Town.
Francesca Rheannon spoke with Halsey recently about land preservation efforts of the Peconic LandTrust, the demise of traditional farms, how community supported agriculture was developed by the Land Trust and what can be done to keep protected land in farming.
