The Highlands Tourism Partnership would like you to consider taking immediate action in support of two agritourism initiatives currently working their way through the New Jersey legislature.
Take the time to learn about our state’s wineries at www.newjerseywines.com and about the threat to close them at www.uncorknj.com. Then write to your legislatures in support of NJ agritourism industries.
To support the legalization of raw milk in New Jersey visit www.gardenstaterawmilk.org and follow instructions for showing your support.
