Friends of the Farm Unite! Stop Sprawl Putting Frog Pond & Eden's Garden Urban Farm @ Risk

The Issue

I am concerned that if I do not insist on whatever means need to be taken to ensure the preservation of this farm for future generations now, I could lose the opportunity.

Having seen unfettered and unauthorized development occur at 4700 Pioneer Road over the past 3 years, without rectification, and already at the expense of our local, small farmer at Eden's Garden CSA Farm, we the undersigned, as customers and supporters of this farm that serves as a source of fresh, local, pesticide free produce for us and our community, ask that this proposed re-zoning to expand and allow for what would amount to the elimination of the farm’s natural and clean water source, and subsequent financial as well as physical damage and well-being to the farm and surrounding neighborhood, be denied.

This development is not a suitable fit for this community's unique chemistry and it would disrupt and jeopardize it.

I feel like we need to draw a line in the sand and protect this "organic farm" for food production, education and enjoyment. Our children are counting on us to plan for their future.
