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.

We do. But you can grow cabbages anywhere. It's a tradition dating
from WWx when people had to or starve. You can even keep animals so
long as any noises and smells don't upset the nieghbours.

You can grow cabbages anywhere here, too. However, I couldn't
set up a market garden on my two acres, because it's zoned
residential. I could conceivably grow two acres of cabbages
and give them to my friends.

I've never investigated what the animal regulations are in my
area; I've got a policy against owning anything that craps. I'm
pretty sure I could keep a few chickens, maybe a goat,
but nothing bigger or more numerous. Just a mile or two
south of me, it's zoned agricultural, and they have quite
a bit more leeway as regards livestock.

I imagine that during WWx, there was a lot less
regulation of land use. But my house wasn't built
then; it was all farmland.

street with bags of ****, for reasons which should remain private because
coprophilia is a strange condition.
