Can We Still Grow Here?
Who decides what our land is really for?
Presented by ABC Window Cleaners & Building Services
Join us for a live podcast where we dig into the zoning rules shaping the future of local farming in Marion County. These laws were designed to protect farmland—but are they making it harder for small, family-run farms to survive?
We’ll be joined by Danielle Bethell, Marion County Commissioner and advocate for rural communities, and Brian Zielinski, third-generation farmer and owner of Scenic Valley Farms—aka Master of All Things Productive. Brian has grown just about everything you can grow on the 45th parallel, and he knows firsthand what’s at stake when policy meets the plow.
Whether you’re a local grower, a curious neighbor, or just care about who gets to work the land—this conversation is for you.
