• Farmland Preservation Overview

  Agriculture is one of Connecticut's most vital economic sectors, and at its heart is the state's extraordinary farmland. The Department of Agriculture preserves working lands by acquiring development rights to agricultural properties through two programs, ensuring that the land remains available only for agricultural use in perpetuity: the Farmland Preservation Program (FPP) and the Community Farms Preservation Program.

• Community Farms Preservation Program

  The Community Farms Preservation Program (CFPP) is a preservation program which is better suited for farms that do not meet the criteria of the traditional Farmland Preservation Program for reasons of size, soil quality, or location, but may contribute to local economic activity through agricultural production.

• Traditional Farmland Preservation Program

  The traditional Farmland Preservation Program (FPP) is the primary preservation program administered by the Connecticut Department of Agriculture. Typically it is a good fit for preserving larger (>30 acres) farms that have a significant quantity of cropland and prime and important soils as defined by the United State Department of Agriculture.
