Gillespie For a number of years the communities of Dartmouth, Amherst and Westport have sought to preserve local agriculture through the creation of municipal Agricultural Commissions in each town. This past year, Town Meetings in Middleboro and Rehoboth created their own, and Town Meeting in Dartmouth passed the first town "right to farm" bylaw that we are aware of. These are landmark accomplishments, and they can provide the blueprint for agricultural viability in every town in Massachusetts. Massachusetts has a strong home-rule tradition, and volunteers in local communities comprise Conservation Commissions, Boards of Health, Planning Boards, and other elected and appointed boards that affect many farm activities. If agriculture is to thrive, we must have a voice at the municipal level. This is the role of the Agricultural Commission. Agricultural Commissions, usually appointed the Board of Selectmen, should be comprised of farmers and others supportive of local agriculture. Ag commissions can be the advocates on behalf of farmers in their own community. When the Board of Health or Conservation Commission seek to regulate local agriculture, the ag commission's viewpoint should carry a lot of weight in the rule-making process. When the town seeks to preserve farmland, the ag commission should evaluate and prioritize the parcels for acquisition. When problems arise between farmers and their neighbors, the ag commission can mediate, and find ways for agriculture not to just co-exist, but thrive in the community. Ag commissions can facilitate marketing of farm products; encourage agri-tourism and educational efforts and opportunities. Local "right to farm" bylaws are the logical next step to codify normal farming practices as acceptable in each community. These need to be carefully written so as to preserve existing agriculture, and potential new types of farming operations. Bylaws must be reasonable, and allow for changing management techniques, and respect reasonable rights of community residents while allowing commercial agriculture to operate as it must to remain in the town. During the next year, the Massachusetts Department of Agricultural Resources is committed to developing a model bylaw that can be used as a starting point in any community. Pilgrim RC&D recently received a grant to develop a strategy for establishment of Agricultural Commissions in additional cities and towns. Contact Irene Winkler at (508) 295-1317 ext 130 for information on this project. MDAR staff stands ready to support your local effect to establish a commission in your town. Remember, Town Meetings generally begin in March, so start organizing now for 2004. As someone who has fought the local battle for agriculture over the past two decades, I challenge the farm community to focus on this task, and establish Agricultural Commissions in ten percent of Massachusetts municipalities in the next two years. We've got five in place now, so we need 30 more by September 1, 2005. Can we do it? It's a huge task, but one that could be time well spent in another few years! The "Right-To-Farm" bylaws: we have one in place now, so let's shoot for ten more in 2004 and 20 total in 2005. We can't do it for you, but we can provide the template and the action plan. We can write letters of support to town leaders. Farmers must plan for the future, and local regulation is becoming the greatest threat to vibrant agriculture. Let's work together to improve your future! Contact me at [email protected], and we'll help you get started! Hope the Harvest is smooth and bountiful! [back to contents] Top Tomatoes in the Bay State Named for 2003! Tomatoes from farms across Massachusetts competed for top honors in the 19th Annual Massachusetts Tomato Contest and Festival held today at Boston City Hall Plaza. The event kicks-off Massachusetts Farmers' Market Week and was held in conjunction with the City Hall Plaza Farmers' Market. More than 85 tomato entries competed for first, second, or third place tomato awards in the slicing, cherry and/or heirloom categories. Tomato trophies are awarded to the top three winners in each category and certificates are given to the top five winners in each category. A panel of judges, including food media, chefs and produce specialists, evaluated the entries from commercial growers on shape, color and flavor, with more value given to flavor. And the judges were not just seeing red. This year's contest saw a rainbow of entries from yellow slicing and cherry tomatoes to orange, rose, black and striped tomatoes in the heirloom category. Heirloom varieties -- older, unusual varieties that are no longer widely grown by commercial growers -- are gaining in popularity again. The Tomato Festival also included tomato sampling for the public, cooking demonstrations featuring local farmers' market produce, and recipes, nutrition information and information on local agriculture. The annual Massachusetts Tomato Contest is sponsored by the Massachusetts Department of Agricultural Resources, the New England Vegetable and Berry Growers Association, and the Federation of Massachusetts Farmers' Markets. The top winners for 2003 were: Slicing Category Farm Name Town Variety Place The Food Boston Taxi 1 Project Duckenfield Norfolk Trust 2 Farm Freitas Farm Middleboro First Lady 3 Blue Heron Franklin Trust 4 Farm Volante Farms Needham Early Girl 5 CHERRY CATEGORY Farm Name Town Variety Place The Food Boston Sun Gold 1 Project Red Fire Farm Granby Favorita 2 Simple Gifts Belchertown Sun Sugar 3 Farm Freitas Farm Middleboro Sun Gold 4 Arena Farms Concord Sun Gold 5 HEIRLOOM CATEGORY Farm Name Town Variety Place Cherokee Stillman Farm Lunenburg 1 Purple Ward's Berry Sharon Black Krim 2 Farm Stillman's Farm Lunenburg Brandywine 3 Simple Gifts Belchertown Green Zebra 4 Farm The Warren North Farm and Dzruba 5 Brookfield Sugarhouse HEAVIEST Farm Name Town Variety Place Kimball Fruit Pepperell Pineapple 1 Farm Verril Farm Concord Big Rainbow 2 Gove Farm Leominster Merced 3 [back to contents] Massachusetts Receives Two FSMIP Grant Awards US Agriculture Secretary Ann M. Venneman recently announced the allocation of Federal State Marketing Improvement Program (FSMIP) grants for this fiscal year. The Massachusetts Department of Agricultural Resources received two grants in the amount of $93,100 to identify new markets for fresh and processed cranberries and cranberry products and to foster direct marketing of locally grown ethnic produce to Asian and Brazilian immigrant communities in eastern Massachusetts. These grants will be implemented in cooperation with the Cranberry Marketing Committee, the Cape Cod Cranberry Growers Association, the Wisconsin State Cranberry Growers Association and the University of Massachusetts. "Federal-State Marketing Improvement Program grants support the development of new market opportunities for our nation's food and agricultural products," Agriculture Secretary Ann M. Venneman said. "The program encourages research and innovations to improve the efficient and performance of our agricultural marketing system." For more information on the FSMIP Grant Program, Mary Jordan at 617-626-1750 or [email protected]. [back to contents] It's OK to be "Shellfish" about Community Preservation! The Commonwealth of Massachusetts has a long and prosperous history associated with its shellfish and fisheries resources. In fact, virtually all of the Commonwealth's 58 coastal communities from Newburyport south to Westport have some relationship and/or infrastructure associated with recreational or commercial harvest of fish and shellfish. Not to mention the name of our "Cape" that was clearly derived as a result of a bountiful fishery resource. As indication of the importance of Massachusetts fisheries resources, early in the Commonwealth's development the value and benefit of fisheries and coastal resources was recognized through the enactment of the Colonial Ordinances of 1641- 1647 which provided access to the intertidal zone for all Commonwealth residents for the purposes of navigation, fowling and fishing. Shellfish and the recreational and commercial fishing activities that are focused on the resource have similarly been an important part of Massachusetts cultural and economic history and currently represent a nearly $30 million industry in addition to the immeasurable value that is enjoyed by recreational shellfish harvesters. Over the past half-century, the cultivation of shellfish for enhancement of public resources and as a commercial enterprise has grown to represent the largest component of the more than $6 million

  • Town of Gorham
    A HISTORY OF THE TOWN OF GORHAM, MAINE. PREPARED AT THE REQUEST OF THE TOWN, BY JOSIAH PIERCE. PORTLAND: FOSTER & CUSHING, AND BAILEY & NOYES. Print.ed by Foster & Cushing, over Casco Bank. 1862. PREFACE. A. praiseworthy desire has of late been manifested in many towns in New England, to gather up the trustworthy documents relating to the early settlement and progress of our plantations, and to rescue from the oblivion to which they are r~pidl y hastening, .the records of the enterprise, courage, and sufferings, of our early ancestors. Such local statistics must be interesting to the citizens of those places to which they relate, and valuable to historians of our country, as furnishing reliable data to aid them in the composition of their works. I have devoted some time in investigating the early settle­ ment of the town of Gorham, and tracing its growth, till it became, what it now is, one of the most populous, wealthy, and important inland towns in Maine. I have thought a historical memoir of the place would be acceptable to its present inhabitants, and not wholly unin­ teresting to the people of our State generally. With these views, I have compiled the following pages, and now commit them to the public eye. In the preparation of tJtls work, I have been much as­ sisted in gathering materials, by several gentlemen. M. G. Hayden, Esq., Town Clerk, has at all times given me a free IV. PREF.A.CE. use of all the Town Records_ in his possession. I have also received valuable aid from Hon.
