Zoning and Agriculture

Noon - 2 PM EDT
FREE
Location: New City Neighbors, 1115 Leonard St NE, Grand Rapids, MI 49503
Join us for an interactive workshop on zoning issues that impact farms. Learn from our experience so you can plan ahead, stay informed, and keep your farm growing. Topics will include special land use hearings, different zoning classifications, and how local zoning requirements can affect fences, hoop houses, greenhouses, and other farm infrastructure—particularly in an urban environment. Whether you are a farmer, aspiring farmer, policymaker, or agricultural service provider, this workshop will offer practical information to help you better understand and navigate zoning issues related to agriculture. Lunch will be provided. This event is free thanks to SARE’s support.
