A 3914 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Permits agriculture-related events on preserved farmland.

This bill allows landowners to host farm-focused events like pumpkin festivals or tractor pulls on land protected for farming, but requires a permit from the county agriculture board. The permit limits events to no more than four per year per farm, with each event lasting only one week or weekend, and ensures the land remains usable for farming afterward. It clarifies that following these permit rules won't violate existing farmland preservation agreements. The bill directly affects landowners seeking to host such events and county boards issuing permits.
