✔ Support small farms and food businesses—allowing farmers and makers to sell directly to customers and grow their businesses.
✔ Create vibrant public spaces—where neighbors connect, local musicians perform, and small businesses thrive.
✔ Expand food access for all—ensuring that fresh, local food is affordable through programs like SNAP, Produce Perks, WIC, and Senior Farmers Market Coupons.
