Farmland Preservation
The Purpose of the Alamance County Farmland Preservation Programs is to:
“Promote agriculture values and the general welfare of the county by increasing identity and pride in the agriculture community and its way of life: encourage the economic and financial health of agriculture/ forestry: and increase protection from non-farm development and other negative impacts on properly managed farms.”
