Hear from the farmers

"Our family farm has multiple environmental certifications, but the Measure A would amend the general plan to define my farm as "environmentally destructive" because my farm is larger than a quarter-acre."

"I'm a founding member of Uplift, our Humboldt County growers cooperative. Our goal is to help small farms survive and continue to be contributors to the Humboldt culture we know and love. Measure A would make our job more difficult by putting additional restrictions and requirements on small farmers. We do not support this initiative. "

Drew Barber

East Mill Creek Farms, Uplift Coop Member

"My family and I cultivate 3,000 square feet of cannabis and want to start a microbusiness, which would require additional permits and new structures, both of which would be prohibited if the Measure A were to be approved by voters."

"Moon Made Farms is a regenerative Sun + Earth Certified farm. We have plans to expand our solar array, but because we're over 10,000 sqft, we would have to reduce our cultivation footprint by 40% to be able to improve our environment."

Tina Gordon

"We hold three Humboldt County cannabis permits: cultivation, nursery, and cannabis tourism Humboldt County. The Measure A states, "one permit, per person, per parcel." Other cannabis businesses would not be able to access the tourism or nursery opportunities we have, which help improve our businesses' viability."
