PCC Farmland Trust secures, preserves and stewards threatened farmland in the Northwest, to ensure that generations of local farmers productively farm it using sustainable, organic growing methods. The Trust takes its mission one step further than most land trusts by working to place farmers on the property, actively producing food for the local community.

The PCC Farmland Trust is an independent, community-supported 501(c)(3) land trust. It was founded in 1999 by PCC Natural Markets as a separate, non-profit organization.

Since inception, the Trust has saved three farms totaling 449 acres:

  • 97-acre Delta Farm in Sequim, farmed by Nash’s Organic Produce
  • 174-acre Bennington Place Farm in Walla Walla, farmed by Thundering Hooves, a grass-fed meat operation
  • 178-acre Ames Creek Farm in Carnation, farmed by Full Circle Farm, Growing Things Farm and Children’s Garden Farm

The Trust is currently in the last stages of purchasing a conservation easement in partnership with Pierce County. The 100-acre Orting Valley Farm most likely will be operated as three separate farms managed by three separate families.
