Dillner Family Farms in West Deer has become the 40th farm in Allegheny County to be protected by a conservation easement. Following the state Department of Agriculture’s decision in October to support the farm, the Allegheny County Conservation District and county Agriculture Lands Preservation Board made the preservation official Monday.

It is one of 21 farms that received an easement last week and the only farm in Allegheny County. Dillner Family Farms
