Protecting farmland protects our food

Protecting farmland protects our food supply, strengthens our local economy, and preserves the character of our communities 🌱

Pennsylvania’s farms are part of who we are. They support local jobs, keep fresh food close to home, and maintain the open spaces that make the Lehigh Valley such a special place to live. But once farmland is lost to development, it’s gone for good.

That’s why I support:

  • Expanding Pennsylvania’s Farmland Preservation Program
  • Strengthening local zoning tools that protect prime agricultural soils
  • Encouraging smart growth so development happens in the right places
  • Supporting farmers so agriculture remains a strong part of our regional economy

Protecting farmland isn’t about stopping progress — it’s about planning responsibly for the future 🚜

We can grow our communities while still protecting the land that feeds us.
