Homeowner has two acres and has been growing vegetables for 15 years to give
away and sell at the local farmer's market.


The city is correct in cracking down: vegetables are not food - vegetables
are what food eats.


Only *America, land of the free. *I can grow as mny cabbages as I
like, keep pigs and goats or anything else.


There are many places in America where one can do all those things,
and more. The fellow in the news article ran afoul of local zoning
laws. I didn't read the entire article on that extremely annoying
website, but I'd venture to guess that it looked like he was operating
a farm in an area zoned residential.

Some places in the U.S have zoning; others do not. I'd be surprised
if the UK doesn't have similar laws.
