The last few years I have pieked my own vaegetables at Busa Farms and couldn't believe how fresh tasting and delicious local grown vegetables are. It would be a shame to deprive our community of such healthy food. I really hope our selectmen understand the importance of making the Busa land a community farm.

We have often regretted permitting land to go into development. Let's not do something that we will regret and that will be irrevocable. Preserve the farm for community farming.
