We have helped protect more than 50,000 acres, including 25,000+ acres on more than 100 reservations that are all open to the public. We are a nonprofit conservation organization funded and supported entirely by our visitors, supporters, volunteers, and more than 40,000 members. The Farm Institute became a Trustees-managed property in 2016 at which time The Trustees built a teaching kitchen to complete the cycle of farm-to-table. In 2021, a new partnership was formed with The Trustees and Slough Farm to continue our farm-based educational programs and events. Morning Glory and Grey Barn are actively farming Katama Farm. Visitors can often see both Morning Glory cows and Grey Barn sheep grazing in the fields, or walk through the Katama Barn to meet The Trustees sheep, goats, chickens, and roaming ducks. Our seasonal staff plays an integral role in ensuring that our visitors enjoy our extraordinary places. With the change to warmer temperatures, we experience an influx of visitors of all ages and backgrounds who want to explore and be inspired by our properties.
