A movement to bring food closer to the dinner table has been increasing with newer generations. More people have a desire to know where their food comes from and how the animals that made it are treated. It is a rewarding experience to grow and raise your own food in order to have fresh products to enjoy. You can see this interest growing with backyard produce gardens, community gardens, and a rise in demand for local, organic products. We ask for the freedom to be able to expand our fruits of labor to include fresh eggs from our own personal chickens. Done in the correct way with rules and regulations in place, Ridley Township will become a thriving community for individuals seeking a more self sufficient lifestyle. If this statement speaks to you, please sign our petition to allow Ridley Township citizens to own chickens on their property.
