Please Donate and Help Preserve This Community Farm Forever

The mission of NACF, a non-profit organization, is to permanently protect one of the last remaining intact farms in North Amherst: the 37.8 acre farm owned by the Dziekanowski family for generations was purchased by NACF in 2006. This farm is a valuable asset to the densely populated and diverse community of North Amherst and beyond. Saving ensures that the land continues to be productive, provides open space, and enhances our quality of life and community. An Agricultural Preservation Restriction (APR) ensures that this asset will forever benefit future generations.

The vision of NACF is to cultivate this farm as a unique community resource. The farm has already become a hub of community life while maintaining the integrity of the wildlife corridor and the natural landscape. NACF has ensures that the access people have to the walking trails through and around the farm continues. NACF will create more equitable access to fresh, organic produce for the 10,000 people living within a 1-1/2 mile radius of the farm. NACF will strengthen the bonds within a diverse community through its educational and cultural programming. NACF will raise awareness of the connection between food production and distribution and the health of the environment. NACF will keep prime local farmland in production.
