To date the Trust has preserved more than 1,200 acres of farmland in the county. Ford, who reportedly rode his bicycle through the countryside each day to his film location in rural Strasburg Township, made the following statement in support of the Lancaster Farmland Trust; "I have had the firsthand opportunity to experience a spe cial place and an extraordinary community in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. An important part of America’s heritage, this area of exceptional resources is home to a culture of wholeness and produc tivity that must be preserved. "It is under enormous pressure. Farms, countryside communities and cultures are threatened with being overwhelmed by suburbani zation, highway and commerciali zation. This is too important a part MIX.

As a small non-profit land trust, it is gratify ing to have our work acknow ledged by a star of his magnitude.
