Tillamook donates $1.6 million from #AllForFarmers

A west coast dairy cooperative is donating $1.6 million to American Farmland Trust after meeting its sales goal.

In September, Tillamook County Creamery, based in Oregon, announced it would give 10 percent of product sales as part of its All For Farmers campaign.

American Farmland Trust says the funds will help permanently protect about 6,000 acres of productive farmland and launch their Brighter Future Micro-Grants Program that will provide up to $5,000 in micro-grants to farmers near qualifying regions.
