Making Local Government Clear and Accessible
Founding Farmers is a free and open community information forum founded in Marlboro, NY. With the rapid decline in printed news and media, many news articles are paywalled or not local enough to be of value. Many residents have turned to social media to keep up with the local goings on.

At The Founding Farmers, our mission is to make Marlboro and Milton town news easier to follow. Information posted on Founding Farmers does not represent independent thought; we instead provide access and context to public documents and materials.
Taxes affect every homeowner, farm, and business in town. We dive into updates from the town’s meetings every month and break down what they mean for the community. From budget votes to levy increases, our reporting focuses on clarity and accountability.
All editorial commentary is provided by the collective Founding Farmers group, with the intent to credit the organization, not a byline, mirroring established practices by publications such as The Economist.
This project belongs to the community. Its purpose is to promote transparency and provide a reliable, accessible record of local government activity. We invite you to contribute, share and reuse our articles, stay informed, and take part.
Learn more about how we’re running the project on our Rules page. If you’re interested in being a contributor or in getting involved, let us know by emailing us at [email protected].
