During the fight to save farmland in Canard, Port Williams and Greenwich, No Farms No Food members drew much media and public attention to the need to protect farmland and to promote local agriculture. You may remember our famously green S.O.S signs on over 500 lawns across the valley floor.
Here are several of the media releases from that well-fought battle against farmer-developers.
Our information comes from members’ attendance at any and all meetings where the future of agricultural land is discussed. For several years now, we have been present at Kings County Council’s Planning Advisory Committee, Committee of the Whole, Secondary Planning Strategies, Public Participation Meetings and Public Hearings. We release information through community bulletins, media releases, letters to the editor and editorials. We demonstrate against decisions of the Kings County Council that threaten farmland, in favour of the buy local food campaign, and we hold community meetings to better inform the public regarding the need to protect farmland and support farmers.
