***Essex County is Updating it's Farmland Protection Plan***

Please take a moment to help inform the strategic planning process for Essex County's farming and food system work. The surveys are tailored for three different Essex County audiences:

Farmers and farmland owners: the goal is to reach every farmer and farmland owner in the county. If you own farmland, even if you are not leasing to a farmer or farming yourself, your perspective is needed. The survey takes approximately 10 minutes to complete. Start the survey here: https://forms.gle/dxpPyxWfz6mmde6b6

​
Restaurant, catering, and food service chefs, managers & owners: This survey takes approximately 5 minutes to complete. Start the survey here: https://forms.gle/5D9RxK2LSN2cSWde6

Residents: All Essex County residents are invited to take the survey, including farmers, farmland owners and food service affiliates who also take the other surveys. This survey takes approximately 5 minutes to complete. Start the survey here: https://forms.gle/P8HhERqLUD6maTjT6

If you are part of the food system and not included in the surveys above, for instance, a value-added producer, co-op or grocery affiliate: we would like to interview you. Please contact the office to set up a time.
