Salt Spring Island Farmland Trust

Salt Spring Island Farmland Trust

The Salt Spring Island Farmland Trust was established after a 2008 Area Farm Plan identified the need to protect farmland and encourage new farmers. The initial mandate of the SSI Farmland Trust was to receive parcels of land as gifts, donations, and bequeathments, to revitalize the land, and to make it available to local farmers and family vegetable growers at affordable rates.
