MAN HARASSED AND FINED FOR PLANTING VEGETABLES IN HIS OWN YARD

A family in Sugar Creek, Missouri grew the beautiful vegetable garden in the photo above.
They’ve been given four days to tear out the entire garden or face a fine.
Why? Because it is in their front yard, and city officials and a few neighbors don’t like it.
Nathan Athans said he planted the garden in his front yard because it gets optimal sunlight. His backyard only gets sunshine for about two hours per day, and only in certain areas.
Athans told KSHB that he grows several different types of vegetables on his lawn and loves tending to his garden.
I’d probably say about 300 hours [so far this year], I spend all my free time out here.
I want my family to know where their food is coming from, I don’t want to have to go to the grocery store and worry about what was done to that food.
