Governor Josh Shapiro’s administration is making moves to protect farmland across the state, and one Bucks County property is on the list.

The administration announced that the state of Pennsylvania has protected 3,047 acres on 32 farms in 21 counties from future residential or commercial development. The investment of more than $10 million in state, county, and local dollars preserves prime farmland for the future, helping Pennsylvania farms continue to feed our families and our economy.

The Soloman Asser and Gabriela Hodara Farm, located in Durham Township, is an 89-acre crop farm that will be one of the 32 properties being protected.

“Protecting prime farmland from development is a critical investment in our economy, our environment, and our quality of life,” Agriculture Secretary Russell Redding said.

“These farm families are forging a partnership with government, investing together in ensuring that future Pennsylvania families will have food, green spaces, income, and jobs. Government working to sustain our economy and feed our quality of life is a central goal of the Shapiro Administration.”
