Lancaster County’s agricultural heritage is defined by a deep tension between rapid suburban growth and aggressive preservation efforts. With nearly 126,000 acres officially protected, local stories highlight century-old family legacies and farmers rejecting massive commercial buyouts to keep their fertile soil farming forever.

I no longer live in this area, so haven’t been keeping up. I hate hearing about the encroachments on this beautiful farmland. Happy to hear much of it is being protected.
