Good Trouble

After four successful years of operation, the City of Sharonville is ordering the farm store to shut down, claiming it violates residential zoning restrictions — even though Ohio law (ORC 519.21 and 3717.22) protects the right to sell farm products directly from the farm. 

Cincy Urban Farm isn’t a commercial business. It’s a farm-based food access point that strengthens food security. It has operated peacefully and responsibly for four years with full community support. Closing it would set a dangerous precedent for other small farmers and local food producers across Ohio. 

An appeal hearing is scheduled at Sharonville City Hall on Wednesday, November 12th at 6:30pm. 
I'll be there.

If your Representative or Senator is a Democrat, call them to thank them for continuing to work during the shutdown.

If you have a Republican Representative, call to let them know that they ought to be working AND Speaker Johnson needs to swear in Rep-elect Adelita Grijalva.

If your Senators are Republicans, call them to let them know that you agree with Donald Trump; they have the power to open the government. Either negotiate with the Dems or nuke the filibuster. Remind them that this shutdown is their choice.
