Welcome to Lower Milford Township!
First and foremost, Lower Milford Township has a long and cherished history of agriculture and farming. Pennsylvania has protection for farmers, and we take our obligations to our farmers seriously. All residents who may be new to a rural area, should start with the Right To Farm Act. It limits the actions that can be taken against farms for what otherwise might be a nuisance - after all, farms have operating hours dictated by the weather, and sometimes can create dust, noise and odor. The general rule is if a farm was there before you, you can't complain about the farm's emissions.
