In 2023 and 2024, Jefferson Land Trust bought two adjacent farmland parcels, totaling 47 acres, in Chimacum’s Beaver Valley, to place an agricultural easement that permanently protects the property’s prime agricultural soils and ecological habitat values, while also establishing a building envelope.
The easement restrictions are expected to lower the value of the land so the 47 acres of farmland will be sold to the next farmer or farming collaborative at a reduced value.
Jefferson Land Trust plans to sell this protected farmland through an open application process that’s now underway. All interested applicants should read the Request for Proposal and complete a pre-application questionnaire before midnight Nov. 17.
A volunteer community selection committee is reviewing pre-applications in November, and inviting up to 10 applicants to submit full proposals, which will be due in late February of 2025. The applicants invited to submit full proposals will be notified during the first week of December, and will have the option to visit the property on Saturday, Dec. 7.
