As far as I can tell, he was not fined for *growing* vegetables, he was fined for *selling* what he grew.

I would have just gone ahead and gotten some pigs since they were legal. See if the government changes their minds about those vegetables.

The fact that zoning exists to keep your from growing vegetables in the first place is outrageous.

I know some HOA won't allow it. I think it's nuts.

This guy was growing a county that bills itself as the greenest county in the nation.
He was required to stop growing veges, even though he was fully legal in all ways.

The wording says that growing vegetables was not "specifically permitted"???

Seems to me the assumption OUGHT to be that you can do whatever you want on your property unless it is SPECIFICALLY PROHIBITED!

One wonders if he is " specifically permitted" to put curtains over his windows? To paint his garage door yellow? Hmmmmm ... The county could have a whole list of violations against every resident.

Our house is painted BRIGHT yellow and the neighbors is BRIGHT purple. Were the two biggest houses!

Take that city!
