KEEP THE FARM IN FARM COAST

In 2022, a group of next generation farmers from Dartmouth, Westport, Tiverton and Little Compton came together to raise appreciation of how farms preserve the working rural landscape that makes our region a special place.

We encourage consumers to buy from local farmers. Buying fresh, locally grown food strengthens our local economy and supports the farms that maintain our Farm Coast landscape. The more produce, eggs, honey, jam, cheese, meat, flowers, plants and nursery grown trees that you buy from local farms helps to keep the “farm” in Farm Coast. 

We ask land trusts across our towns to make more farmland accessible to next generation farmers - through long term leases and farm ownership opportunities, with housing that ensures a place for tomorrow’s farmers to raise families.

Ultimately, we aim to raise pride of place in - and stewardship of - the Farm Coast as a region of coastal farm towns.
