Equity Trust

Equity Trust is a nonprofit organization, dedicated to equitable and sustainable land use, that has worked nationally for over 20 years to promote the protection of affordable "farms for farmers". Equity Trust's Hudson Valley Farm Affordability Program complements and enhances the farmland protection efforts of the many conservation groups working in the Hudson Valley by supporting the use of critical tools for keeping farmers on the land. The Program provides technical assistance to farm protection projects using these tools along with funding in the form of grants and bridge loans.
