HI🚜 From the school bus to the Senate floor: Why Jacob Roloff is getting involved in local politics. ⚖️
🔥 Jacob Roloff isn’t usually one for the spotlight these days, but the threat of Senate Bill 1586 has changed that.
I sat down with the youngest Roloff son to discuss his new venture, Helvetia Gardens, and why he’s sounding the alarm on the proposed 1,700-acre industrial expansion in North Hillsboro. As a next-gen farmer committed to organic, in-house composting and market gardening, Jacob sees firsthand how urban encroachment and data center "fans" are impacting our local ecosystem and even our view of the stars. 🌌
"The 1,700 acres is just egregious to give away," Jacob says. It’s time to slow down and protect the prime soils that make our community what it is.
Call to Action:
