AOFB do not require a farm to have a farm determination, unless the municipality requires it. If a farm or municipality requests, VAAFM can offer an official farm determination based on thresholds established in the Required Agricultural Practices (RAPs). Receiving a farm determination does not override the need to consult your town. Importantly, farms do not need a farm determination to engage in farming activities, unless required by their local municipality.
