A wooded property on Long Island has become a place where farming, animal care and community activities share the same space. The project is Mama Farm, founded by actress Isabella Rossellini in Brookhaven, New York, in 2013. According to the Peconic Land Trust, Rossellini donated a conservation easement in 2012 that protects 20.8 acres of the property. The farm combines food production with biodiversity initiatives and educational activities for families and children. Its community-supported agriculture programme also connects members with the food grown on the land, making the property a working example of how conservation and community life can go hand in hand.
