Straus Family Creamery founder Albert Straus weighs in on the removal of dairy farms in Point Reyes National Seashore.
Article by Albert Straus.
Most of the dairy farms and cattle ranches at Point Reyes National Seashore will soon disappear. Though the ranchers have been leasing the land from the National Park Service for decades, environmental groups sued the agency in 2016, alleging that agricultural pollution was disrupting local ecosystems. Earlier this year, twelve of the 14 working ranches accepted a buyout worth an estimated $30 million from the environmental groups to end years of draining litigation.
