Gorgeous chard bound for food insecure neighbors grows well Spring through Fall at the Afrithrive Cultural Farm in Poolesville- one of a number of farmers who found their leased land through our Land Link program
Please join us for a community discussion of this ZTA with the sponsor on December 6 at 6:30 pm RSVP is required, space is limited. Please see the invite here.
A new ZTA has been proposed by Councilmember Fani-Gonzales (co-sponsored by Councilmembers Glass and Friedson) that would allow accessory structures for overnight accommodations in the Ag Reserve.
MCA was surprised by this proposed zoning change and while opportunities for residents to immerse themselves in the wonder of the Reserve should be considered, we look forward to carefully discussing with a broad array of stakeholders how this proposed use can fit in balance with the farms and forests of the Reserve, not to mention the septic and well considerations. We understand this ZTA will have it's first hearing in January.
