Marin Agricultural Land Trust (MALT)

In the early 1970s, development plans for the Tomales Bay region posed a threat to the long tradition of family farming. Two early environmentalists, Phyllis Faber and Albert Straus’ mother, Ellen Straus, decided to fight, so they co-founded the Marin Agricultural Land Trust (MALT), a private, member-supported non-profit organization dedicated to permanently preserving Marin County farmland for agricultural use.

For more than twenty years, CFS has been at the forefront of organizing a powerful food movement that fights the industrial model while promoting organic, ecological, and sustainable alternatives.
