Martha Boneta, owner of Liberty Farms in the northern village of Paris, was threatened with nearly $5,000 in fines
for selling produce and crafts and throwing unlicensed events, including a birthday party for her best friend's child.
She told FoxNews.com she wasn't doing anything farmers haven't done for generations, and at a recent zoning board meeting,
her agrarian friends literally showed up with pitchforks to express their support.
...
“It’s customary to do these things. It’s done through on farms throughout Virginia to help farming and agriculture.”
Boneta was told that she did not have the proper event permits for the party and other events, including wine tastings,
craft workshops, and pumpkin carving.
“Why I would need a permit for a pumpkin carving?” she said.
Fauquier County Zoning Administrator Kimberley Johnson told FoxNews.com Boneta is out of line.
Johnson said that Boneta would be able to continue so long as she obtains the proper permits;
“She can get an administrative permit for 90 percent of the events being held.”
Someone needs to find a picture of this government asshole.
These soviet minded shitheads are out of control.
Those people should have used those farm implements...
