Sustainable Agriculture Partnerships​

Our area is widely renowned for its magnificent stretches of sandy white beaches and remarkable natural resources, historical and cultural sites and a unique charm that truly defines it as a New England seaside community. We have retained our long-standing rural character, flavored with a mixture of agriculture and fishing, but it is being threatened.
Our area has seen unparalleled growth. The increasing growth gives way to the selling of active farms that frequently dotted the rambling roads behind century-old fieldstone walls.
Agriculture plays a major role when balancing such development with the preservation of agricultural land, open space, protection of natural resources, maintaining a quality water supply and sustaining agriculturally-based businesses.
