Farmstand Update from Rice Farms 8/17/2010

Great story in the Idaho Statesman today by Bethann Stewart on our farm stand opening Beth had contacted us a couple of years ago when we were struggling with Ada County issues and strong arm code enforcement tactics by their planing department which eventually led to the stand closing.   Incidentally…….us and two other farmers asked Ada County to look into an ordinance change and even submitted a draft farm stand ordinance that we payed a planner several hundred dollars to write.  They totally ignored us….we did not even get a call or email from anyone at Ada County.   Oh well, thanks to our friends in Kuna and an ordinance that makes sense it is time to move on for us but with hope that Ada County will change their ordinance to be more favorable to other farmers whom may be in a location conducive to having a viable farm stand……lets hope
