Protect Small Farms in Michigan

Reverse the recent decision to modify the Right to Farm Act in Michigan. Protect our individual rights to provide our own food and make small farmers a priority in Michigan!

Protecting small farms in Michigan should be a top priority. Many farmers' markets are a consortium of small farms producing local produce. This is a vital part of local economies in many areas in Michigan and around the country. Michigan lawmakers should support the rights of individuals, not just the interest of big business.

Why is this important?

Hobby beekeepers in the suburbs and urban areas keep Michigan in the race to save the honey bee. Small Michigan farmers provide us healthy foods that include fresh eggs and honey products in urban farmers markets.
