Save the Pulda Farm in North Brunswick, NJ

This Monday, December 7th at 7pm, the North Brunswick Governing Body will be having a second reading of two ordinances that are being considered for the purpose of acquiring the Pulda Farm.

Indications are that the town is favorable to passive recreation/farming on the site. The town appears to have moved in this direction as a consequence of a new State law that would allow developers who have approvals for age-restricted housing to drop the age restriction and also not be required to build affordable housing units. This law directly impacts the Pulda property. In addition, Alan Godber of Lawrence Brook Watershed Partnership spoke with Mayor Womack about plans for a nature center. It appears that siteing the center on the Pulda Farm could be a possibility. Finally, there is the issue of the farm house, supposedly the oldest existing house in North Brunswick, and how old are those barns?

We urge all of you to consider coming to this meeting, and also contacting like-minded persons, especially North Brunswick residents and asking them to attend. Other plans could win favor if we do not continue to garner support and show the feasibility for our plan. Our goal is to have the Pulda Farm remain as a farm or passive recreation Please plan to come to the meeting on Monday and support the ordinance for the purposes of farming/passive recreation. Thank you very much for your attention to this important matter.
