Holland Township to explore overlay district for farm stands

HOLLAND TWP. After a lengthy discussion during its regular meeting Tuesday, April 13, the Holland Township Planning Commission agreed to explore an overlay district for farm stands. The decision comes months after a request to amend an existing township ordinance to allow farm stands to operate in commercial districts zoned C-2 was brought before the commission by attorney William Sikkel on behalf of Visser Farms, which briefly operated a farm stand at 461 Chicago Drive last spring. In May 2020, the township sent a cease-and-desist letter to the farm, saying it was in violation of zoning rules, which only allows farm stands to operate in agricultural zones.

Local farm stand fighting to reopen

Local farm stand fighting to reopen VISSER FARM STAND and last updated 2021-04-14 09:30:04-04 HOLLAND, Mich. — A West Michigan family farm continues to try and get a permit to reopen a popular farm stand after it was shut down by county officials. Casey Visser with Visser Farms says he opened a fresh produce stand on Chicago Drive in Holland Township during the start of the pandemic to sell 300 different varieties of crops and produce to local families in need. When the Visser family asked for a zoning ordinance text amendment to allow for a special-use farm stand, they never expected resistance from the Holland Township planning commission. The farm stand was given a cease and desist back in May of last year because the location of the farm stand is in a commercial district and not within an agricultural-zoned property. Casey says this issue has been tabled by township leaders since August of last year.
