The entrances to Mattapoisett now make it clear that it’s a Right to Farm town.

Residents approved the designation at the Annual Town Meeting in the spring, and the signs went up at all of the town boundaries in November.

The Right to Farm bylaw is protects farming and farmers in the town limits while also making residents old and new aware of local agriculture. The bylaw also gives farmers a voice against complaints such as the early morning crowing of roosters or the smell of manure.

Mattapoisett’s own Laurie Nunes designed the signs that feature a tractor, barn and silo set against rolling hills.

“You did a fabulous job,” Selectmen Chair Jordan Collyer told Nunes.

Selectmen recognized Nunes’ work at their Nov. 24 meeting with a certificate of appreciation.

Nunes has created graphics for the town before, including a design for Heritage Days and the sesquicentennial celebration.

“When we first got the Right to Farm…there was only one person I could think of to go with,” said Bob Spooner, a member of the Agricultural Commission.

The commission sponsored the Right to Farm bylaw at Town Meeting and commissioned the new signs.

“It’s definitely unique and a lot of people are going to be envious of us,” said Spooner.

Spooner hopes the new bylaw and the signs will encourage people to engage with farmers in town.

“We just want to let you know that we’re here, and we want you to support us in our endeavors. Stop and ask. “
