H.R. 3818 The Keeping of Swine in Tewksbury

The Town of Tewksbury, Mass is trying to change local oversight allowing them to regulate the agriculture in their community. The question, “Is this Pandora’s box?” Because Home Rule petitions almost always pass the Agriculture community believes this will set precedence. H.R. 3818 as written would put this farm and others like it out of business. The town has acknowledged there is no wrong doing and they are following “best practices” but still proceeded with the petition. Will H.R. 3818 change farming forever or will the reality of local food save us all?

It's a family four pack of tickets to Halloweentown in Boston. IT's a local event, if you don't mind spreading the word that would be helpful!

Thanks again, Melanie ~ MommyDoodles.com
