Sonoma County, known for its vineyards, also supports a robust community of small farmers producing a range of goods. However, the rising cost of land is making it increasingly difficult for them to sustain their businesses. A new initiative called Buy-Protect-Sell, launched by the Sonoma County Agriculture and Open Space District, aims to help. This program intends to purchase land to protect it with conservation easements, ensuring it remains available for farming, thus providing stability for local farmers like Erin Roscoe and Brennan Murphy.
Sonoma County's vineyards are famous, but small farmers are critical to its agricultural identity. The rising cost of land challenges their survival, prompting new initiatives for assistance.
The Buy-Protect-Sell program by Sonoma's Ag and Open Space District aims to secure land for farmers facing challenges, helping them thrive amid increasing property costs.
