To support a zoning ordinance that allows farming in Chatham Township.
Whereas agriculture was an important basis for settling in colonial Chatham Township;
Whereas farming is an important tradition evidenced by a number of existing town properties that enjoy farmland assessment valuation;
Whereas locally grown, organic vegetables provide sustainable food for local residents;
Whereas locally grown produce eliminates long-distance, fuel-dependent transport, thereby providing a more energy efficient source of food;
Whereas farms provide not only vegetables, but provide vistas of open space;
We, the undersigned, fully support and endorse the Right to Farm of property owners in the Green Village section of Chatham Township
