Washington, D.C., February 4, 2010 — American Farmland Trust (AFT) proudly opened an E-Commerce store during the 2009 holiday season. The store features our first line of products with the No Farms No Food® message. American Farmland Trust encourages buyers to keep the shopping spirit alive as we welcome 2010 and introduce new items throughout the year at http://www.zazzle.com/americanfarmland*.

Sales from the store serve a vital purpose in helping AFT achieve its mission to protect farm and ranch land, increase the availability of fresh local food and farm products, and keep the land and our communities healthy. The profits from our e-commerce store continue to benefit the on-the-ground programs we implement each year.

AFT also has the distinct honor of being a Better Business Bureau-BBB Charity, having met all 20 standards for charity accountability, and is a BBB Seal Holder. 

“As we approach our 30th anniversary, it is important to reflect back on past successes but also to look forward to engage a new generation in understanding the importance of protecting farmland and fostering healthy communities. Our farm and ranch lands are essential to ensuring America’s food security, energy independence, economic prosperity and environmental quality,” states Julia Freedgood, AFT’s managing director, Farmland & Communities Initiative. Through AFT’s new line of merchandise and E-Commerce store, the same message will now reach an even greater audience.

 

American Farmland Trust is the nation’s leading conservation organization dedicated to saving America’s farm and ranch land, promoting environmentally sound farming practices and supporting a sustainable future for farms. Since its founding in 1980 by a group of farmers and citizens concerned about the rapid loss of farmland to development, AFT has helped save millions of acres of farmland from development and led the way for the adoption of conservation practices on millions more.

AFT’s national office is located in Washington, DC. Phone: 202-331-7300. For more information, visit www.farmland.org.
