Finn Hall Farm, located in eastern Clallam County on the Olympic Peninsula has 50 acres of farmland with (USDA classified) “prime” soils. It has been farmed profitably by the same family for 8 decades and is currently used to raise beef cattle. The property consists of 10 adjacent five acre plats zoned Agricultural Retention that have a commanding view of the Olympic Mountains, making them highly attractive to developers. Farmland in the County is being lost to development at an alarming rate due to its moderate climate, rural character, and spectacular viewscapes. The owners, who are very near retirement, will sell the farmland to a developer, unless their development rights are purchased, as they do not have adequate financial holdings for their retirement years. Thus, there is an immediate need to save the property. The goal is to preserve the 50 acres in perpetuity with an agricultural conservation easement. Once an easement is placed on the property it will be leased to one of several nearby farmers who have expressed a desire to farm it. The conservation easement will also contribute to protection of an important wildlife corridor on the Olympic Peninsula and critical marine and anadromous species in the nearshore environment of the Juan de Fuca Strait. The community supports preservation of farmland as evidenced by their considerable matching-fund contributions to save other farms in the area and the results of a 2008 Trust for Public Land survey of Clallam County voters.
