Our Team

Hannah Abbott (she/her) joined Connecticut Farmland Trust in 2025 as Conservation Coordinator. With a background in soil and water testing, she brings scientific expertise and a personal connection to farming through her family’s grass-fed cattle operation in Litchfield.

Hannah earned a B.S. in Natural Resources from the University of Connecticut and a Master’s degree from Virginia Tech. Her career began with five years as a lab analyst focused on soil and water quality. Outside of work, Hannah enjoys birdwatching and hiking. She has a special fondness for the American Kestrel—a farmland-loving bird that reflects her passion for open spaces and working landscapes.
