KulshanCLT is absolutely committed to the idea that we, as a community, must work together to create a food system is diverse, equitable and sustainable. With our Affordable Access to Land (ALF) program, we envisioned our role as being a facilitator, working with others to obtain land that is productive, affordable and sustainable in perpetuity for generations of farmers.

KulshanCLT built the program for two years, , raising awareness about the complex barriers to land access for farmers in Whatcom County, building partnerships, and seeking resources  to invest in preserving farmland.  As of the end of the October 2011, KulshanCLT no longer had the financial resources necessary to continue the ALF program in its current form. Read more about the suspension of the ALF program here.
