FOX News reported: Pitchfork-wielding Virginia farmers rallied to support a woman who claims local officials came down on her for, among other things, hosting a children's birthday party on her spread. Martha Boneta, owner of Liberty Farms in the northern village of Paris, was threatened with nearly $5,000 in fines when 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 are farmers haven't done for generations, and at a recent zoning board meeting, her agrarian friends literally showed up with pitchforks to show their support. "It's rather odd that I'm the only farmer in the county having these issues," Boneta said. "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. Boneta was also threatened with fines for selling produce and products not grown or made on the 70-acre farm in a small store she had on the property. But she said she already had a special license issued to her in 2011 that allowed her to run a "retail farm shop" where at the time, she made it clear that she intended to sell handspun yarns, crafts like birdhouses in addition to fresh vegetables, eggs, and herbs. h/t: Gateway Pundit Sard | August 10, 2012 at 1:30 pm | Categories: American Culture, American Patriotism, American Sovereignty, Communications, Communism, Conservatism, Cultural Marxism, Economy, First Amendment, House of Representatives, Legal/Judicial, Main-Stream Media, Marxism, Progressive Movement, Senate, Social Engineering, Social Justice, Socialism, Tea Party, Totalitarianism, U.S. Constitution | URL: http://wp.me/p1SHGG-6ME | | | |
