Good morning, Jeffco Growers. Please see the email below, sent on behalf of American Farmland Trust:
Dear farmers in the Puget Sound region,
You support our communities by producing fresh food, supporting ecosystem services, and contributing to the local economy. However, the viability of agriculture is a deep challenge,
as reflected in the most recent Census of Agriculture.
To address these challenges, American Farmland Trust (AFT) is conducting a survey of current, former, and aspiring farmers in the Puget Sound region. This survey will inform the development
of a roadmap and action plan to address Puget Sound agricultural viability, along with a toolkit for county governments to better plan for and serve farmers in their communities.
Will you take a moment to fill out their survey <https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/65ZKPP8> ? Not only will you help shape the future of agriculture, but you could also win a $100 VISA
gift card or “No Farms No Food” cap!
Please also forward this email to other farmers in your network. The more information we can glean, the more complete the picture will be.
We know it is a busy time for farmers, and we appreciate you taking the time to share your challenges and needs. You can learn more about this project and sign up for updates on AFT’s
website <https://farmland.org/project/wa-viability/> .
