HB 4153 Has Cleared the Oregon Legislature!
Today, HB 4153 passed both chambers of the Oregon Legislature by wide, bipartisan margins, and farms across this state are better for it.
This happened because farmers, families, and Oregonians from every corner of the state showed up, spoke up, and made their voices heard in Salem.
We are deeply grateful to the Oregon Department of Agriculture, the Oregon Farm Bureau, the Association of Oregon Counties, and the Oregon Property Owners Association for helping shape a bill that works for farms and for the communities that depend on them. Your willingness to stay at the table and get this right made all the difference.
To every farm family who shared their story, every Oregonian who submitted testimony, and every one of you who contacted their legislators, thank you. This is what it looks like when people who love this land fight for it together.
We've felt the weight of outdated rules that made it harder, not easier, to keep a working farm viable. HB 4153 brings clarity and fairness, and gives farms like ours a foundation to keep doing what we do: welcoming people to the land, growing food, and building community.
We look forward to Governor Kotek signing HB 4153 into law, and we'll celebrate together when she does.
With gratitude,
Kat, Jim & our whole family and staff
