Supporting a pilot neighborhood of small farmsteads in the Treasure Valley

Over the past decade, the Treasure Valley has experienced unprecedented growth. Along the way, productive farmland has steadily disappeared as development expands outward. But growth shouldn’t have to force a choice between farmland and housing. Why aren’t we designing communities that support both while honoring our agricultural heritage?

Project Farmland exists to address that very question—by preserving working land and thoughtfully blending farmland and housing in a way that serves both people and place.

We are a nonprofit pilot project working to create a neighborhood of small farms or 'farmsteads'—where individually owned homes are supported by shared agricultural infrastructure that helps small farmstead families succeed. This early funding supports the careful planning, research, organizational groundwork, and the land acquisition, needed to bring this vision to life, preserve farmland, and offer a more thoughtful way for people, land, and everyday life to grow together.

We invite you to join us on this journey and help bring this vision to life. Thank you for supporting Project Farmland!

Project Farmland is organized as a nonprofit corporation and is currently seeking recognition of tax-exempt status under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Contributions are not currently tax-deductible for federal income tax purposes unless and until a favorable determination letter is issued. If tax-exempt status is granted, it may apply retroactively to the extent permitted by law.
