Staying Farm Friendly
In addition to being a general resource for town government and citizens on issues related to farming and agriculture, the CFA provides input whenever an agricultural issue is raised in town, sometimes proactively and sometimes upon request. For example, we’ve been instrumental in revising ordinances to maintain our farms’ viability, and we developed a position statement regarding roosters in Cape Elizabeth. Several of our members serve on town committees related to overall local government, land use, and open space.
