Montgomery County has permanently preserved three additional properties under its Farmland Preservation Program.
“Farming is an integral part of our heritage, and the county values and supports our local farming businesses, which provide healthy, local foods and conserve our prime agricultural soil,” Val Arkoosh, chair of the Montgomery County Board of Commissioners, said in a statement.
Now joining the program are Suzanne Banyacsky’s 23-acre farm in Perkiomen Township, Edward B. Stokes Jr.’s 117-acre farm in New Hanover Township, and Thomas Latshaw’s 61-acre farm in Upper Hanover Township.
