Actually, Henry, a garden *does* fall under that definition. These laws
were
almost eliminated as farms began to vanish, but in many places, they were
kept intact because of the victory garden movement during World War II.
The
current legal argument is that flowers have no intrinsic value unless
they're raised by a commercial grower. But, food *does* have value to
anyone
who grows it. Therefore, any food garden is defined as a farm.

Sorry to burst your bubble.....

Show me where the laws in a suburban area in this country have been
interpreted to allow a homeowner to hide under the guise of growing "food
crops" while killing his neighbors dog or cats? Garden be damned.

You are twisted.

Like Charles says -"keep back--pedaling".


Call your town hall and ask. So far, it's been the case in 2 out of 3 towns
in which I've lived. While we're discussing this, answer the following:

How big does a food garden need to be in order to be considered a farm, in
your opinion?

I won't hold my breath. Thus far, you've been too much of a pussy to answer
the muffler question, because you'd have to reveal that you'd do exactly
what I would: Lean on the local law enforcement authorities until they
rained hell on the guy and made his life miserable.
