removing small farming from the community is disgraceful. I support changing zoning laws in Richmond County.

This place is wonderful! My children and I learned so many aspects about the farm from visiting Urban Grange. It would be a great loss to the community.

Urban Grange is doing so much to support this community - researching sustainable practices, growing, raising, and selling healthy food, and educating the public. Every time I have visited with them on site and at the farmers market, it has been very evident that they care for their animals and their community. In all of our business transactions, they have been fair and respectful. Please treat them fairly and respectfully. Honor them with the opportunity to continue to serve the CSRA.

Veterans possess the unique skills and character needed to strengthen rural communities and create sustainable food systems for all. We also believe that food production offers purpose, opportunity, as well as physical and psychological benefits for Veterans who farm. As the Greater Augusta Chapter Chairwoman and Veteran Liaison for the National Women in Agriculture Association, I am asking that you seriously consider the value added to our community by this farming family.

This should be a no-brainer. Make the necessary zoning ordinance changes to acknowledge and support urban ag.

It would be a shame in so many ways if this teaching center, community pillar, and leading example in the community were taken away needlessly by badly applied and outdated laws. Shutting down a farm like this has no upside, while it has multiple and obvious downsides for the community and its future growth.

Please reconsider your zoning laws! Consideration for the exsisting land owners should be first on the agenda! Maybe holding a city or county meeting and vote.
