FUTURE OF Green River Farm

The Williamstown Rural Lands Foundation would like to host a discussion about possible future scenarios for the Green River Farms.  Since GRF went into dormancy in January 2011 there have been multiple conversations by various groups with a diversity of ideas.  In an attempt to both share information and ideally to focus in on a more concrete approach (excuse the mixed metaphoric reference) to moving forward with a proposal that could result in a sustainable future for this important part of our agricultural heritage.

I have attached an evolving document whose roots are in the discussions that I have been party to over the past year.  It might be viewed as a point of departure or a suggestion of possibilities.  It might provide a starting point for discussion to take place at a meeting we would like to host early next month.
