It’s time what are people waiting for
Appeal all the way to scotus. I could see a problem if they had chickens or hogs, but vegetables?
But you said it. Don’t blame the lawyers for filing the case. Blame the court for Accepting the case
If I own a home with land, nobody tells me that I cannot do as I want. If I want to grow vegetables as I have, try and stop me. Put your fine up your A**
No one is going to tell me what I grow on my land.
