Maine Farmland Trust
Established in 1999, Maine Farmland Trust is Maine’s only statewide land trust focused exclusively on farmland. It is our mission to:
- Protect and preserve Maine’s farmland
- Keep agricultural lands working
- Support the future of farming in Maine
We work with landowners, land trusts, farm groups, towns and state agencies, to identify and preserve valuable agricultural land, so that it will forever remain available for agriculture. And, through our FarmLink program, we connect farmers looking for land with farmers who have farms for sale or lease.

We are 'Celebrating Art in Agriculture' with a new educational art exhibit focusing on bees, which will run from June 5th through July 15th. Join us for our festive opening on Friday June 12th from 5-7pm. “The Smallest Workers On The Farm” will feature encaustics by Belfast sculptor Beth Henderson, photographs by Michelle Olson from Caribou, and various educational displays. Maine beekeeper Peter Lammert will give a demonstration on beekeeping at the opening reception, and there will be previews of the captivating documentary Sister Bee (by Laura Tyler) - scheduled to show June 23rd at the Belfast Free Library, along with a lecture on colony collapse disorder by Prof. Drummond from the University of Maine.
