Your Farm Market will be able to sell a wider range of farm fresh products including jam, more baked goods, and even meat.
WOODSTOCK - Permission has been granted for a local farmers market to sell a wider range of goods.
Woodstock City Council approved the zoning change from a Transitional Industrial Zone to a Special Transitional Zone for the Your Farm Market. Senior Planner for Oxford County, Ron Versteegen, discussed what this zone change will allow the market to sell. "Home Hardware and their agent Don McKay were seeking to expand the list of permitted items that they could sell within the seasonal produce market, to include other items that would be primarily farm items, which technically right now the City would not consider to be sold in a farm produce outlet."
YFM will now have the ability to sell more baked goods, jam, and even meat to customers out of their Dundas Street location. Versteegen says they had to take a serious look at some complaints before this could be passed. "There were concerns raised by the BIA primarily, not so much to do with the zoning but more the licensing, which is regulated by the City of Woodstock, and it is to do with what is considered to be sold under a seasonal sales establishment." One local grocery store owner had raised a red flag as he felt this would take business away from his location downtown.
Versteegen spoke to Heart FM about what happens now that the zone change has been approved. "Once zoning is established it is there forever and a day until something changes, however the licensing of the seasonal sales establishment doesn't change it is still permitted only for 5 months of the year."
