The Land Group
The Land Group began with founder Benjamin Alder’s desire for deep-rooted understanding of land, conservation, and connections between natural and economic systems. Unlike traditional real estate firms, TLG was built with a focus on land as both a resource and an investment, united by a shared passion for preserving and maximizing the potential of the land. It started with a vision. It started with the land.
At The Land Group, our mission goes beyond selling land—we’re dedicated to solving real challenges for landowners, agribusinesses, and natural resource stewards in the Chesapeake region. With deep expertise in land use, conservation, and economic forces, we provide strategic solutions for poultry farmers, timberland owners, organic producers, and more. Our intentions and innovations are what help clients navigate the complex realm of land management while preserving the region’s agricultural and natural resources. Along the way, “We Sell Dirt.”

Our vision and intention have a common thread—a common relationship between land and agribusiness in the Chesapeake region. Farmers, watermen, and land managers understand that long-term success depends on balancing resource use with conservation. The nature of the job is to adapt, innovate, and work within their communities to ensure sustainability. At The Land Group, we want to cultivate this relationship and provide the expertise to help you navigate it for lasting success.

🦆 We’re at the Waterfowl Festival! 🦆
The Land Group has set up in the Ducks Unlimited tent in Easton, Friday through Sunday. Come see us. We’d love to talk about land, whether that’s a hunting property, a working farm, a timber tract, or a piece of the Eastern Shore you’ve had your eye on.
Swing by, say hello, and talk dirt with our team. See you this weekend! 🌾

Cypress is a very representative species throughout the Dragon Run watershed, and they survive in submerged conditions by breathing through cypress knees — these distinctive, woody projections that grow vertically above the root system.
Dragon Run sits within one of the more intact coastal systems in the Chesapeake Bay region. The land is defined by a mix of upland timber, bottomland hardwoods, swamp forest, and extensive riparian corridors.
The Land Group is auctioning ten timber tracts within the Dragon Run watershed, starting December 16. Learn more at the link in our bio.
