Zoning regulations for small home (non-commercial) vineyard??

[TimTheWiner]

As anyone ever heard of zoning regulations or ordinances against having a vineyard on your own residential property if it is strictly for home wine making and fruit consumption? I am going to town hall tomorrow but I'd like to know if anyone's ever encountered problems with this. I would be BEYOND pissed of they made some kind of issue out of it.

Its amazing what people complain about. I know we can't have hogs in our subdivision, after that everything is game. How is some grape vines different than flowers or a garden? Good luck!

how much property do you have?are you in a development with a board ?different standards for different townships as well as states ,it can be cumbersome,but it could be the law,.....................

I was hoping to get replies last night mainly to ease my mind before calling town hall, but I just got off the phone with them and he says "I don't care what you plant as long as it's not marijuana" lol. Glad to have a go. At first I was worried more about the trellis constructions/permits, but he said it's not a problem. Sweet. BTW, the lot is 12 acres total, mostly wooded with the .25 acre field to plant on.

Nice! Glad it worked out for you.

But the "pot" plot would be more profitable for a quarter acre until they caught you! LOL

Yep just become a "dispensary" of medicinal herbs!
