Community rallies to support Colorado family farm preservation

Debora Palizzi, 63, is fighting against a development plan that threatens her family's farm in Brighton, Colorado, which has been in operation for 100 years. A court ruling allows a developer to run a stormwater pipe through her crops, raising concerns about the farm's future. Community support has grown for Palizzi Farm, with locals rallying to save it from disruption. Despite the court's expectation that farming can continue, Palizzi argues that the proposed plans will make the land unfarmable. Palizzi is preparing for an eminent domain trial in May, which will focus on compensation rather than preserving her family business. She expresses deep concern about losing the farm, which holds significant family history and memories.
