3/2 Town Meeting Alert: Protect the Right to Grow Food!
There hasn’t been adequate time on the issue of municipal exemption/Right to Grow Food this legislative session to do the work that would have allowed us, or you, to have this as a warned item on the agenda at Town Meeting. With this in mind, please consider proposing the following Non-Binding Advisory Petition to the Vermont State Legislature to adopt The Right To Grow Food & restore the regulation of Farming & Farm Businesses to the Vermont Agency of Agriculture, Food, & Markets. This non-binding resolution is intended to encourage the Vermont State Legislature to restore the long-standing exemption for farms from municipal zoning, and to codify a Right to Grow Food that clearly includes the right to raise livestock and to sell agricultural products.
