Issue Position

Let's preserve our local farms.

Our local farms protect the charm and beauty of our landscape and provide us with healthy, local food. Let's support them by funding infrastructure, such as the Franklin County CDC's cold storage facility; by promoting agritourism; by incentivizing the diversification of farm products to include cheese, yogurt, beer and cider; and by protecting our farmland through the Agricultural Preservation Restriction program and other efforts. Let's continue the success of the Healthy Incentives Program, which benefits local farms and our neighbors who need assistance.
