Expands definition of "qualifying land" to include certain deeds of easement excluding certain portions of farm from preservation.

Summary

The legislation allows owners of farmland that includes certain easements to apply for a special permit to operate a small rural micro‑enterprise on up to one acre of the property. It creates two classes of permissible activities, caps permits at 20 years, and imposes strict land‑use, construction, and environmental safeguards. The goal is to encourage farm‑based entrepreneurship while protecting agricultural production and historic farm character.
