Meadow Farm Community Land Trust
Founded in 2013, Meadow Farm Community Land Trust (MFCLT) is a 28-acre nonprofit rooted in care for the Earth and the people who call it home. We’re dedicated to sustainable living, soil health, affordable housing, and community resilience on the Mendocino Coast.
Through volunteer stewardship, we grow organic food, restore healthy soils, and promote carbon-sequestering practices. We offer workshops in permaculture, natural building, plant-based food practices, and other earth-friendly skills that support a regenerative way of life.
Our housing projects create space for future residents and help grow the next generation of farmers, builders, and community stewards.
As a Public Hub in the Hubs and Routes program, we collaborate with local partners to strengthen disaster preparedness and community care.
Run entirely by volunteers, Meadow Farm thrives through love, cooperation, and shared purpose.
