    Services: I help farmers and small organizations reframe their identity so decision-makers and neighbors see the full value. We’ll pinpoint the red-flag words that trigger opposition, replace them with language that signals alignment with local values, and develop messaging that positions your farm as a community asset rather than a commercial threat. Attendees will walk away with: A guide to the language pitfalls that spark zoning resistance. Reframing strategies that highlight heritage, education, sustainability, and preservation of open space. Messaging tools to position your farm or project as a natural fit for your community’s values A framework for presenting proposals that lower defenses and invite support. Attendees who want guidance on zoning and identity framing are encouraged to bring: A copy of their draft proposal, business plan, or program description Their local zoning code section(s) related to agriculture, agritourism, or special uses Notes on objections or pushback they’ve already heard (if any)
