​​

YFF Supporters,
Misleading postcards have been circulating throughout Little Compton regarding our proposal at Young Family Farm. We believe in total transparency, so we want to clear up the confusion directly before the upcoming hearing.

​

The opposition flyer claims we are pushing for a town-wide zoning change that will open the floodgates to unlimited commercial venues. This is completely false.

​

We are NOT asking for a zoning change.

​

Instead, we are requesting a property-specific Special Use Permit (SUP) for a strictly regulated 2-Year Pilot Program that applies only to Young Family Farm.

 

Here are the facts about our proposal:

​

• No Blanket Zoning Change: A Special Use Permit applies exclusively to our farm—it does not alter town zoning rules or create a precedent for other properties.​

• Strictly Capped Events: A maximum of 10 evening events per year (with flexibility to work with the town on the final number).

• Hard Capacity Limit: Capped at 150 guests per event.​

• Early Sound Cutoff: All music stops strictly at 9:00 PM.​

• Dedicated On-Site Parking: All vehicles will park on farm property—no street parking or neighborhood traffic congestion.

• 100% Town Oversight: The Town Council retains full authority to review and evaluate the program after the 2-year trial.

​

Agritourism allows multi-generational farms like ours to generate the critical revenue needed to keep working land open, active, and green. But we cannot do this without your voice in the room.

​

How You Can Help Us:

​

Show Up at Wilbur School Gymnasium on September 1st at 7:00 PM.

​

Letters and signatures are helpful, but having friendly neighbors physically fill the room is what sways board decisions. 

​

Please join us, wear green or YFF gear if you have it, and consider giving a brief public comment on why you support YFF.

​

Where: Wilbur School Gymnasium

When: Tuesday, September 1st at 7:00 PM

Warmly,​

Tyler, Karla, Hattie and Sarah
