Isabella Rossellini turned 27-acre New York farm into protected community farm

A 27-acre Long Island property has transformed into a protected community farm, with actress Isabella Rossellini at the helm. Mama Farm, founded in 2013, merges farming, animal care, and community activities. The Peconic Land Trust contributed to the conservation of 20.8 acres through a conservation easement in 2012. The farm employs organic and regenerative techniques, grows food from heirloom seeds, and houses a sanctuary for heritage-breed animals.

A community-supported agriculture program connects members with the farm's produce and fosters an appreciation for local food and sustainable practices. Mama Farm also offers workshops, children's programs, and performances to engage visitors in environmental themes and community life, embodying the intersection of conservation, agriculture, and community engagement.
