Get involved
Numbers are what make a resident-led effort credible at a public hearing. We are not asking for money. We are asking to be able to reach you when a farmland decision is close.
Step one
Here is the promise: occasional emails only, never more than a short update and the occasional alert when a decision is near. Double opt-in, so you confirm before we send anything. No spam, no sharing, no selling, unsubscribe in one click.
Occasional updates and action alerts. Double opt-in, no spam, unsubscribe any time. We never share or sell email addresses.
01
Two minutes, once in a while
Read the update when it arrives. Each one says what is proposed, which policy applies, and what happens next, in plain language. Nothing else is required of you.
Start with why this farmland is rare, then what protecting it would take, then read the agritourism vision and where it stands.
02
One conversation, one forward
Send this site to someone who lives here. Mention it at your HOA, your church, your school pickup, your farmers market. Most residents have never been told that Oceanside still has farmland worth keeping, and that the plans meant to protect it are already written.
Keep it about the land and the process, not about individuals. That is what makes our case hard to dismiss.
03
An hour, when it counts
Write to your councilmember and ask them to bring forward farmland protection tools: an agricultural preserve or overlay, Williamson Act support, and conservation easements. The five asks are here, in the words you can use. Attend a hearing, submit a written comment, or simply sit in the room. Public bodies count the residents in front of them, and when an item is scheduled our alert will include the date, the address, and the deadline for written comment.
You never have to speak. Presence is participation.
We are not asking for donations. Participation is the contribution.
