I got shut down from selling black garlic at the farmers market because I didnt have a restaraunt license. One guy (who didnt even know what black garlic was until I explained it to him) said it was dangerous. I asked how is it dangerous? He said he didnt have time to explain the science but it could start a deadly outbreak.. oh ok, like he was gonna explain the science of something that he didnt even know what it was. Sure. Don't you just love the government?
rent a church kitchen with the proper food license boom hoop jumped. Even some kitchens will let you come in after hours for a small fee. Dont let the man try and stop your black garlic dude
Think outside the box and do it anyway. That is a valuable commodity. I'd buy that. Must be even more healthy than I thought. Takes forever to make it.
@@mattpadze5876 Good idea. I wouldn't let it stop me either because when they tell me no it's like waving a red flag at a bull. People need more garlic, especially healthier garlic that doesn't burn their mouth off. High blood pressure. They know it too. Goldman Sachs came out with an article last year stating that a healthy populace just wasn't a good business model.

Putting limits on use of property means the wineries that exist will have very little competition from the average person. Requiring you to make alcohol is absurd, it just encourages DUI and addiction. Locally grown whole food Restaurants/stores should be prioritized over any other small business, especially in a rural environment. You can't serve alcohol is South Carolina unless you also serve food. Some try to get away with it by selling Poptarts and Mac n Cheese. Put up a 2nd story on the same slab and add a wing with a 6 car garage gravel floor FROG and tell them KMA. Concrete the floor after the inspection. They did the same with solar here in South Carolina. You want Solar? $1 million in insurance required to be grid tied. Electric monopolies are the worst. Lobbyist are right up there. That's why all politicians, elected or appointed, need term limits. Lobbyists would go broke if they had to grease the new wheels every term. Being a lawyer should be disqualification for politics. It's pretty hard to be an engineer and do full time politics. Not so for lawyers. Arrogance and lack of a moral compass in the political system is maddening...
They are expecting rebellion, to create crisis and chaos. And then the solution, framework of agenda 21/30. A Hegelian dialectic order. Order out of chaos. Canada and the USA are the test ground for it, later to be implemented world wide.
The alcohol thing is a red herring. She is on land restricted for use to grow crops only. The property was cheaper to buy because of this. The winery/alcohol people have deeper pockets and lobbied to get the wineries and breweries listed as an acceptable agricultural use under the law. She doesn't need to become a brewer. She needs to get together with other value added farmers and get things like restaurants, cafes, (add your great idea here) their own exemptions based on their connection to agriculture. We have had some success with this here in New York. Good luck!
That's ridiculous. There should be no need to band together and lobby some stupid bureaucracy for permission. Government should have no right to micromanage our lives and rule over private property owners.
They are mostly all the same, corrupted and working to the interest of big corporate businesses. Make no mistake, this is not the result of stupidity and incompetency! This bureaucracy nightmare which afflicts today almost all modern societies all over the world is a well-thought plan and has its own purpose; basically hampering small scale free enterprise.

Governments and politicians do not want you to be self sufficient. The more people that "need" the government for their survival the happier the bureaucrats and politicians are (power and money). For every step an individual makes to becoming self sufficient the government will put that many obstacles in their way to prevent it. This is not done by accident and it is not a coincidence. It's very calculated.
Well of course. Prior to the industrial revolution the majority of the world's population relied on subsistence farming. The government had very little control and tax revenues were low Today's 'developing countries' are countries where a good portion of the population still relies on subsistence farming but the globalists are working hard to pull them into the Ponzi banking scheme. People cheer for a good economy but who really benefits when money is continuously changing hands? Banks and governments.

the way that oklahoma farmers and ranchers solved a similar problem (1910?)after this territory became a state(1907) was to get themselves elected to public office. the lawmakers at the time were neither and therefore didn't care about farmer and rancher's problems. the law enacted by the newly elected politicians(farmers) was so simple and effective that it still stands today as originally written,and, has been copied by many other states to protect their farmers.
But in a time and region where less than 1% of the populace are farmers in in Ag at all, electing AGG workers is extremely unlikely. Maybe for very very local, and therefore less powerful positions. But for cities, regions, states, federal, the population of farmers is so low that they will, and likely SHOULD by the logic of population percentages, be underrepresented. Which is unfortunate. Need more farmers it seems. More farmers. Less politicians dictating farm law.
@@mellowtron214 small locally source type agriculture has the highest quality and it's much safer than large-scale agriculture and use's less fertilizers thats why high end restaurants that rich people eat at always buy at these farmers markets where as your grocery store has all the stuff with pesticides on it, these types of farmers represent everybody who eats it's a large demographic I think
That was a similar situation on an episode of Little House on the Prairie......the town people at auction bought back their farrm for pennies from banksters.....cool episode....gets a little tear jerker at the end
Yes! I did wonder if there was a loophole, like splitting the farm into two businesses, where the restaurant buys from the producer. Gotta play these bastards at their own game
Wouldn’t be allowed to run a restaurant on ALR land. That’s the big issue, not the part about using their own produce. Current rules as far as I know and what was said in the video only allow the restaurant on ALR land if you produce alcohol like wineries with tasting rooms and food being served.
I would've gotten a lawyer to help me get round them somehow before I'd build a damn brewery. Here they own all media so you cannot even get your story out there.
In NY people served food in their homes like a restaurant and needed no licensing. If I remember right they would announce a special dinner and the folks would come and eat, and then they donated money based on some agreement, at the end of the evening. I think they served alcohol too. It was a huge thing. Might be still. There is always a way round. It's finding it though.
The restaurant was serving booze. That's why. You can only sell your own stuff. 1 dewelling only they could tear it down and build another it's to prevent multiple homes. One home not 2 homes. They have a restaurant one cabin(dewelling) a greenhouses. If they didn't serve booze no problem if they tear the cabin down then build also no problem. People build homes then subdivide the property then chip away at the farm land till there is nothing left which is why it's 1 dewelling only
I live on a first nation reserve, we do not fall under the ALR and all around our farm, good farmland is being gobbled up by developers and turned into modular home parks. The ALR does need to be reformed but beware of the idea of scrapping it altogether.

There is a task force set up by the provincial government of BC that is discussing the 470000 sq Km of ALR land. What is concerning is how municipalities are not following the model promoting urban food production. In our town of Squamish, our updated bylaw proposal with not allow greenhouses on front yards and zero food production in boulevards. Localized food production is almost questioned.
Isn’t ALR land cheaper in the first place because of these conditions? This video seems to be more about preventing development on land which seems in line with ALR. The beer thing seems like a weird condition. The OP seems to be frustrated about producing food in BC but the example in the video doesn’t support that. For her it was more about not being able to build a house as a separate building.
Hi Curtis, I’m farming pastured poultry in the Cariboo region of BC. Bill C52 affects us because I want to build a second home for my wife and daughter on the property I own with my parents but C52 won’t allow it. Also the permit I get from the poultry marketing board only allows you to raise 2000 broilers a year, but I’ll see what I can do once I get to those numbers. Thanks for bringing this issue to the spotlight!
One major point as far as i am concerned is, that *we never really own a property/house.* Simple proof: If you don't pay a re-ocurring fee, which is mandatory and will be enforced by all means necessary (including gun power), you will be out of a property or dead. The re-occurring fee could have several names, including "property tax". *One only is free if his land and home does not involve a re-occuring fee.* Everything else is involuntary servitude, unless one pays by it's free will and never clains the wrong. The ironic part: People all over the world, who are not free in regards to the previous though ofthen praise their "freedom" or "independence" from a former opressor who forced the payment of fees.
Yes, you are correct. If you purchase property in a jurisdiction that offers a fire dept, police dept, schools, ambulance, parks, paved roads/road service, water/sewer infrastructure, and codes to protect peoples safety and property values; then yes you pay for these among other things with property taxes. Don't know where your from, however, even in US you can own land and the only cost is really the cost to keep it on the books. You can get yourself 20- 40 acres in the desert with great views. An hour drive over rough paths to get to the nearest dirt road, then another 2 hrs drive to get to a paved road to get to a store.. what are you waiting for? I hate property taxes as well, but if you want to live in society money has to come from somewhere. You are not entitled to it.
@@solorsix Oh, man. NOBODY is entiteled to anything, which another man/women did create. Exactly! I don't mind paying for things, I need/use.However: Participation needs to be by ones free will. I remember a case where someone did build a house way out, pretty low property taxes. Some years later, plenty of people did move out in the same area. All of a sudden a school had to be build and all of a sudden the property tax was a multiple. What do you tell these people, if cost becomes too high? Pack your stuff, leave your house and start all over somewhere else? No way! If I find school is useful, I pay my share. Maybe I would only pay for tuition and not for a prestige football field. Maybe You love football and want such a prestige football field. I'm fine with that, as long as nobody is fored to participate. The issue however is deeper: Costs are rising, money is wasted, expenditures intransparent. All this can happen, because they know that the forced re-occuring fee will be raised to cover all this. And if one does not pay up: Send the troops and shoot him out of his home, if necessary. Sickening!
@@yxcvmk All excellent points. The answer for me personally is when taxes go up, usually the value of your property does too. Time the market and cash out. Yes, that's means moving further out. I like rural though, so it works for me. Some states (not mine unfortunately) have what they call homestead exemption. So if you live on the property year round you get this exemption. Its like 30%, pretty big savings. I like your idea of pay for what you use, however, it may make it very easy to game the system.
"What they say and what they do is two different things!" This is a perfect example of how they do EVERYTHING. Time to wake up! This information is spot on. Thank you!

Sad story. Good advice to anyone looking for a new farm location. Glad to see comments opened up. Curtis Stone has helped so many people, I wish he wouldnt let the negative ones annoy him.
That sucks, but you can just add on to the existing house/slab. I had that problem 15 years ago. Oh, btw...I had a huge approx. 4000 sq ft modular home. My walls were 2x10's! Very well insulated and could withstand a 180 mph hurricane. Everything was accessible from underneath the house, plumbing, electric, etc. It was beautiful and it was the nicest house I ever had, and that was out of many very nice houses. Seriously!
Big government. Nothing like it. And I thought the US was bad. OMG. Outrageous. Plan ahead and learn about local laws FIRST before you purchase. Talk to neighbors as well. Yup I'm pissed and we live in a totally free county in NE TN. Let Freedom Ring.
That’s so Interesting. I was considering to buy a farm/ranch in BC. But continue hearing about these horrible stories on how mismanagement, lousy government and globalization are killing agricultural businesses in BC.

Hey Curtis. I posted this (shared) to our biggest talk radio station in Winnipeg to Hal Anderson at CJOB, (the Chorus media network). I hope Hal watches this video and let the public know. So called big brother should start making sense.
I assume, it would extort most of your energy (fruits from labor) trough taxes and regulations? I assume that if You as an individual wouldn't play along, the paid "troops" with all kinds of weapons and psychological training would give you the forced confidence, that you have to "obey"? I assume that would go on, as long as no critical mass is reached, who says: This WRONG ends now. Period! In case, those who extort the energy, also control the education system, I owuld assume that it would almost be impossible to ever reach a critical mass, because the next generation is taught, what has to be taught to keep the extortion going... All fiction, hopefully. I however wonder if it's all fiction: In the Spanish democracy the Catalonians voted for a separation from Spain. As far as I know, the military could prevent such a democratic separation...
Reminds me of a town in Ontario where the houses are built too close together for the modern fire code. If you want to build a new house you have to knock down 3 walls build the new house and knock down the fourth wall at the end so it counts as remodeling. Your friends should look into creative ways of staying within the law. Might be a way around their house building issue at least.
Wow thats insane. So how do you run a family farm? Family farms usually have 2 or 3 houses on the property with extended family heavily involved in the daily operations.
You just wait, a d I'm almost positive in certain neighborhoods and communities depending on location you can't even have a garden. They'll be coming for your acreage before long. This is the problem with the justice warrior types and tree hugger types. Thays not to say people, especially farmers dont care about our planet, cause I'd say this type and millions like her want be able. Iys coming to America watch and see what I say. These departments of government is made in the first place is from these chaos people. They've got us running around here in America as well. Everybody is always trump this and I dont like how he speak etc, here they want to keep giving government more power and power always corrupts, it's the lobbyist that true to keep big business in and keep the little guy down all the time and guess who's the ones that back this stuff, it's the justice warriors that say there out for the little guy, for the opress while at the same time oppressing
Bottom line is that" private property of any kind is the root cause of inequality" What we have is another attempt to form a global totalitarian police state.

They will takeover by increments without firing a shot.

was wondering if you can divide your farm from your restaurant and buy / sell products between the two? If you have subsidies/ subsidiaries, could this help?
So true, they don't even want you to grow food in the front of your home where I live. They wanted to fine me for weed control when they were potatoes growing. This is in the USA so it is everywhere
This has happened to me for the last two years here in Springville Utah. I have a front yard garden and I get hassled about my "landscaping" not being compliant , and I can't have one single plant on the "noxious weed list" when my neighbors have the same weeds everywhere. My neighbors don't have to be compliant, but I do, even down to one weed or the edging touching the sidewalk or road.
@@TheHerbdude I do understand that. There are a lot of people that don't care where I live and don't even cut their front area. I was told that they are going to have to come spray and I went to a council meeting to fight that. I don't use chemicals and don't want that poison near my house. They told me the only way for them not to was to cut the front. Trying so hard to save to move out of this city and live a better life. Thank you for telling me about your struggles.

The Agricultural Land Reserve has been a joke for almost 30 years. When I was a Soil Science student at UBC 21 years ago, even then we knew the policies were outdated and useless. One drive through Vancouver and Richmond will demonstrate that the Reserve simply doesn't work. And for the last 10-12 years, its been creeping into my hood in Saanich and Victoria. You think we have little to no food security now? Wait another 10 years and it'll be downright scary.
Money is power. While voting/lobbying to change laws is something we should be doing, while we're waiting for "change" let's make sure we're also keeping our money among like-minded people and out of the pockets of interests benefiting from these sort of laws and the sort of politicians pushing them.
This is the definition of government overreach! This is also an issue that ALL farmers should know about, including American farmers and other interested parties here in the states. Thanks for this video and all your content.
Unfortunately, it seems this video does not share the full story. Bill 52 went a long way to preserving farmland from speculation by mansion builders and protecting farmland from illegal dumping. Farmland, particularly in the Lower Mainland, was seen as a cash cow by farmland owners (not farmers!) That doesn't mean to say these bills couldn't use tweaking but they should not be withdrawn. Apparently this eatery didn't have local government approval either. As someone whose family owns in the ALR, I want to see farmland preserved for farming. And my farming friends don't want to see farmland overvalued with mansions, several houses on a parcel for families who aren't farming, or other major infrastructure so farmland becomes unaffordable for bonafide farmers. In Richmond, we had farmland owners (not farmers), riling up the public about restrictions on their house sizes and this petition seems to be similar. It makes me wonder who is actually behind this. www.countrylifeinbc.com/alc-puts-focus-on-farming/?fbclid=IwAR1ZDxkuKMTYuLbeo2pZg-H3N3h2NxccK4Vf5INRpaC5W-WFvOFa0FZbiOo
Michelle Is this saying that there's no way the farm is growing the amount of food that they're serving? It's very early here. It also does not imply that gov't made them build a brewery in order to operate a restaurant. I can see that farm to table restaurants with organic food would be a huge money maker and there are always sellers here claiming organic or that it's Amish produce when the pesticides in it are off the charts. That being said, I've no idea what is truly going on here but folks should always question everything and look things up.
Wow ! I'm glad to know this is happening but equally sad to know it. All governments are the same unfortunately. We are all in the path to being subjects not citizens.
I was on the fence with this. I understood that it was about people making mansions on farm land and using alr as a tax haven... That I agreed with, but felt there were much better ways of doing it than removing rights of people. Now I'm completely against it! Thanks for bringing light to this terrible problem! I hope to one day own a farm to table business, and now my dreams feel even more of a pipe dream.
The overreach and corruption of politicians is just as much on the shoulders of the citizen as it the individual acting in such egregious manners. At the very LEAST I hope they develop the best beer to ever come out of BC and the story behind a clever name raises this issue to such an inconceivable amount of recognition that politicians are sternly reminded who it is they serve.
Fairly common in most US states that have farmland preservation programs, to have restrictions on adding or even expanding housing on the preserved farmland. In my area many preserved pieces of farmland do not allow a single house to be built on them. All done to prevent the preserved farmland from growing houses on it, then being subdivided into smaller lots as mini farms, with a couple of christmas trees growing to satisfy the farm requirement, and the homeowners got a cheaper deal on their house, and actual farmland is no longer really farming produce or grain.
Curtis is wrong. Both the ALR and Bill 52 allow farmers to build a home on their land. What is prohibited is building a 2nd home, which is what they want to do.
When you tell farmers they can't sell their land to whomever they want, you are infringing on their rights as property owners. Areas without these land use policies provide a lower cost of living for everyone. Even the supposed goal of the ALR is corrupt.
This was a perfect example of value added ... revived a failed farm, did everything right, recovered the land, concentrated on the business, tried to play by the rules and are not allowed to build a home ... a perfect example of rules that conflict with common sense. Start the change by voting PPC in a couple weeks and bring fairness back. BTW build your house.
From Ontario my channel is LifefromAshes , I am very unhappy with this information as a Canadian!!! if I was able to sign your petition I would in a heart beat! But I'm not from BC!

I work as a land survey party Chief and I can tell you first-hand I've witnessed things that turn my stomach the letter of the law can be bent beyond the point of breaking as long as there's enough lawyers to back it up right now so much all our land on Vancouver Island is being stratified because it can't be subdivided and they're building little mini mansions on it and charging many hundreds of thousands for each house, where I am currently ALR land can't be broken down into anything smaller than 5 Acres so a local developer bought a whole bunch of farmland subdivided it down to five acre lots then stratified all those lots down to two and a half acres and literally sells each little 2 and 1/2 acre bit for as much as he bought the entire area for..... oh and the best thing is because these many mansions are being built on agricultural land all they have to do is have a few ducks or a horse or a chicken or two and they get to claim all sorts of tax breaks as a farm even though they are not and this is blatantly used in their marketing of these places. I don't know if this is what the video is about but within the first minute I had to write all of this because I do know a lot about the ALR and I see some disgusting things happening with it Okay now I've watched the video and all I got to say is what the Unholy fuc!!!!!!! I literally know people who have had Brewing facilities who have been forced off of ALR land!!!! A woman 30 minutes down the highway from where this lady is nearly lost her entire business as a result of this luckily the community banded together and helped her out. Also why you have to be able to brew alcohol to serve lettuce it makes no sense we need to start sacrificing politicians for climate change or something Also in regards to her house and she needs to talk to someone because I routinely see Farms with multiple structures, the concrete foundation is a big deal but no one is going to stop her from building a barn and when you build a barn you can put in all the infrastructure for a house and once it's passed all of its inspections then you finish the building, but I'm really surprised they won't let her have a second dwelling most Farms have the right to have several outbuildings all with concrete foundation... kind of feels to me like her local politicians want her Farm gone so they can subdivide her land and build expensive houses on it like they're doing everywhere else on our beautiful little Island.. now I'm angry and I can't stop ranting the politicians out here have caused us to stop producing food my old landlord used to have 20 acres and many head of cattle he produced beef for many years delicious beef then they changed the rules and said that he was no longer allowed to have to be killed on sight it had to be sent off to a slaughterhouse where the cows would sometimes wait up to a week without food or water to be processed in this time the meat would become gross the animals would become stressed and sick and the difference in the meat quality despite the fact that they told him it was his Charis was so different that he stopped farming because he wouldn't eat what they were telling him was his own meet and he actually didn't believe that it was his own meat anymore,, the street I used to live on had 5 houses, even 10 years ago these were all producing Farms with grain, cattle, pork, poultry vegetables and pretty much anything you needed to feed yourself.. the only thing you can get on that road anymore is eggs,,, bureaucracy stupid rules and the cost of land and Taxation on this ALR land literally stopped food production....
CURTIS: you have the idea backasswards. When you have farmland, you can build all the building necessary that contribute to farming the product. Dwellings are restricted, but additional accommodation can be added for farm workers. Restaurants Do NOT belong on a FARM. The winery and booze business developed through a different set of circumstances. Restaurants belong in a commercial zoned area, so if you want to have a restaurant and supply food to the restaurant, then there is another set of rules and restrictions... ie eggs, milk, butchering, etc. Am I wrong ???? Simply put, restaurants are not a farming business.

I got shut down from selling black garlic at the farmers market because I didnt have a restaraunt license. One guy (who didnt even know what black garlic was until I explained it to him) said it was dangerous. I asked how is it dangerous? He said he didnt have time to explain the science but it could start a deadly outbreak.. oh ok, like he was gonna explain the science of something that he didnt even know what it was. Sure.
Don't you just love the government?
"explain the science" is the ego driven madness of an allopathic society going cannibal smmfh

Think outside the box and do it anyway. That is a valuable commodity. I'd buy that. Must be even more healthy than I thought. Takes forever to make it.
@@mattpadze5876 Good idea. I wouldn't let it stop me either because when they tell me no it's like waving a red flag at a bull. People need more garlic, especially healthier garlic that doesn't burn their mouth off. High blood pressure. They know it too.

Putting limits on use of property means the wineries that exist will have very little competition from the average person. Requiring you to make alcohol is absurd, it just encourages DUI and addiction. Locally grown whole food Restaurants/stores should be prioritized over any other small business, especially in a rural environment.
You can't serve alcohol is South Carolina unless you also serve food. Some try to get away with it by selling Poptarts and Mac n Cheese.
Put up a 2nd story on the same slab and add a wing with a 6 car garage gravel floor FROG and tell them KMA. Concrete the floor after the inspection.
They did the same with solar here in South Carolina. You want Solar? $1 million in insurance required to be grid tied. Electric monopolies are the worst. Lobbyist are right up there. That's why all politicians, elected or appointed, need term limits. Lobbyists would go broke if they had to grease the new wheels every term. Being a lawyer should be disqualification for politics. It's pretty hard to be an engineer and do full time politics. Not so for lawyers.

They are expecting rebellion, to create crisis and chaos. And then the solution, framework of agenda 21/30. A Hegelian dialectic order. Order out of chaos. Canada and the USA are the test ground for it, later to be implemented world wide.
The alcohol thing is a red herring. She is on land restricted for use to grow crops only. The property was cheaper to buy because of this.
The winery/alcohol people have deeper pockets and lobbied to get the wineries and breweries listed as an acceptable agricultural use under the law. She doesn't need to become a brewer. She needs to get together with other value added farmers and get things like restaurants, cafes, (add your great idea here) their own exemptions based on their connection to agriculture. We have had some success with this here in New York.
Good luck!

Kleptocracy - Government 4 thieves, by thieves. "The strongest reason for the people to retain their right to keep and bear arms is as a last resort to protect themselves against tyranny in government". ~ Thomas Jefferson
the way that oklahoma farmers and ranchers solved a similar problem (1910?)after this territory became a state(1907) was to get themselves elected to public office. the lawmakers at the time were neither and therefore didn't care about farmer and rancher's problems. the law enacted by the newly elected politicians(farmers) was so simple and effective that it still stands today as originally written,and, has been copied by many other states to protect their farmers.
But in a time and region where less than 1% of the populace are farmers in in Ag at all, electing AGG workers is extremely unlikely. Maybe for very very local, and therefore less powerful positions. But for cities, regions, states, federal, the population of farmers is so low that they will, and likely SHOULD by the logic of population percentages, be underrepresented. Which is unfortunate. Need more farmers it seems. More farmers. Less politicians dictating farm law.
One of the reasons that the elections are not legitimate anymore. The big ones were never likely legit.

@@mellowtron214 small locally source type agriculture has the highest quality and it's much safer than large-scale agriculture and use's less fertilizers thats why high end restaurants that rich people eat at always buy at these farmers markets where as your grocery store has all the stuff with pesticides on it, these types of farmers represent everybody who eats it's a large demographic I think
They need to sell what they grow to an individual for a penny . Then buy it back for a penny. Then use it in their restaurant.
That was a similar situation on an episode of Little House on the Prairie......the town people at auction bought back their farrm for pennies from banksters.....cool episode....gets a little tear jerker at the end
Yes! I did wonder if there was a loophole, like splitting the farm into two businesses, where the restaurant buys from the producer. Gotta play these bastards at their own game
Wouldn’t be allowed to run a restaurant on ALR land. That’s the big issue, not the part about using their own produce. Current rules as far as I know and what was said in the video only allow the restaurant on ALR land if you produce alcohol like wineries with tasting rooms and food being served.
I would've gotten a lawyer to help me get round them somehow before I'd build a damn brewery. Here they own all media so you cannot even get your story out there.
In NY people served food in their homes like a restaurant and needed no licensing. If I remember right they would announce a special dinner and the folks would come and eat, and then they donated money based on some agreement, at the end of the evening. I think they served alcohol too. It was a huge thing. Might be still. There is always a way round. It's finding it though.
The restaurant was serving booze. That's why. You can only sell your own stuff. 1 dewelling only they could tear it down and build another it's to prevent multiple homes. One home not 2 homes. They have a restaurant one cabin(dewelling) a greenhouses. If they didn't serve booze no problem if they tear the cabin down then build also no problem. People build homes then subdivide the property then chip away at the farm land till there is nothing left which is why it's 1 dewelling only

There is a task force set up by the provincial government of BC that is discussing the 470000 sq Km of ALR land. What is concerning is how municipalities are not following the model promoting urban food production. In our town of Squamish, our updated bylaw proposal with not allow greenhouses on front yards and zero food production in boulevards. Localized food production is almost questioned.
This may be one of the stupidest things I have ever heard.....WTH???
Isn’t ALR land cheaper in the first place because of these conditions?
This video seems to be more about preventing development on land which seems in line with ALR. The beer thing seems like a weird condition.
The OP seems to be frustrated about producing food in BC but the example in the video doesn’t support that. For her it was more about not being able to build a house as a separate building.

One major point as far as i am concerned is, that *we never really own a property/house.* Simple proof: If you don't pay a re-ocurring fee, which is mandatory and will be enforced by all means necessary (including gun power), you will be out of a property or dead. The re-occurring fee could have several names, including "property tax". *One only is free if his land and home does not involve a re-occuring fee.* Everything else is involuntary servitude, unless one pays by it's free will and never clains the wrong. The ironic part: People all over the world, who are not free in regards to the previous though ofthen praise their "freedom" or "independence" from a former opressor who forced the payment of fees.
Yes, you are correct. If you purchase property in a jurisdiction that offers a fire dept, police dept, schools, ambulance, parks, paved roads/road service, water/sewer infrastructure, and codes to protect peoples safety and property values; then yes you pay for these among other things with property taxes. Don't know where your from, however, even in US you can own land and the only cost is really the cost to keep it on the books.
You can get yourself 20- 40 acres in the desert with great views. An hour drive over rough paths to get to the nearest dirt road, then another 2 hrs drive to get to a paved road to get to a store.. what are you waiting for? I hate property taxes as well, but if you want to live in society money has to come from somewhere. You are not entitled to it.
@@solorsix Oh, man. NOBODY is entiteled to anything, which another man/women did create. Exactly! I don't mind paying for things, I need/use.However: Participation needs to be by ones free will. I remember a case where someone did build a house way out, pretty low property taxes. Some years later, plenty of people did move out in the same area. All of a sudden a school had to be build and all of a sudden the property tax was a multiple. What do you tell these people, if cost becomes too high? Pack your stuff, leave your house and start all over somewhere else? No way! If I find school is useful, I pay my share. Maybe I would only pay for tuition and not for a prestige football field. Maybe You love football and want such a prestige football field. I'm fine with that, as long as nobody is fored to participate.
The issue however is deeper: Costs are rising, money is wasted, expenditures intransparent. All this can happen, because they know that the forced re-occuring fee will be raised to cover all this. And if one does not pay up: Send the troops and shoot him out of his home, if necessary. Sickening!
@@yxcvmk All excellent points. The answer for me personally is when taxes go up, usually the value of your property does too. Time the market and cash out. Yes, that's means moving further out. I like rural though, so it works for me. Some states (not mine unfortunately) have what they call homestead exemption. So if you live on the property year round you get this exemption. Its like 30%, pretty big savings.
I like your idea of pay for what you use, however, it may make it very easy to game the system.

This is the definition of government overreach! This is also an issue that ALL farmers should know about, including American farmers and other interested parties here in the states. Thanks for this video and all your content.
Unfortunately, it seems this video does not share the full story. Bill 52 went a long way to preserving farmland from speculation by mansion builders and protecting farmland from illegal dumping. Farmland, particularly in the Lower Mainland, was seen as a cash cow by farmland owners (not farmers!) That doesn't mean to say these bills couldn't use tweaking but they should not be withdrawn. Apparently this eatery didn't have local government approval either. As someone whose family owns in the ALR, I want to see farmland preserved for farming. And my farming friends don't want to see farmland overvalued with mansions, several houses on a parcel for families who aren't farming, or other major infrastructure so farmland becomes unaffordable for bonafide farmers. In Richmond, we had farmland owners (not farmers), riling up the public about restrictions on their house sizes and this petition seems to be similar. It makes me wonder who is actually behind this. www.countrylifeinbc.com/alc-puts-focus-on-farming/?fbclid=IwAR1ZDxkuKMTYuLbeo2pZg-H3N3h2NxccK4Vf5INRpaC5W-WFvOFa0FZbiOo
Michelle Is this saying that there's no way the farm is growing the amount of food that they're serving? It's very early here. It also does not imply that gov't made them build a brewery in order to operate a restaurant. I can see that farm to table restaurants with organic food would be a huge money maker and there are always sellers here claiming organic or that it's Amish produce when the pesticides in it are off the charts. That being said, I've no idea what is truly going on here but folks should always question everything and look things up.
From NZ, what a terrible policy with having to produce alcohol to run a cafe. Also can't live on their own land?? Did I hear right??
Wow ! I'm glad to know this is happening but equally sad to know it. All governments are the same unfortunately. We are all in the path to being subjects not citizens.
I was on the fence with this. I understood that it was about people making mansions on farm land and using alr as a tax haven... That I agreed with, but felt there were much better ways of doing it than removing rights of people. Now I'm completely against it! Thanks for bringing light to this terrible problem! I hope to one day own a farm to table business, and now my dreams feel even more of a pipe dream.
The overreach and corruption of politicians is just as much on the shoulders of the citizen as it the individual acting in such egregious manners. At the very LEAST I hope they develop the best beer to ever come out of BC and the story behind a clever name raises this issue to such an inconceivable amount of recognition that politicians are sternly reminded who it is they serve.
Fairly common in most US states that have farmland preservation programs, to have restrictions on adding or even expanding housing on the preserved farmland. In my area many preserved pieces of farmland do not allow a single house to be built on them.
All done to prevent the preserved farmland from growing houses on it, then being subdivided
into smaller lots as mini farms, with a couple of christmas trees growing to satisfy the farm requirement, and the homeowners got a cheaper deal on their house,
and actual farmland is no longer really farming produce or grain.
Thanks for laying it out man, really appreciate it!
And we are not supposed to think there is an agenda being played out!

Curtis is wrong. Both the ALR and Bill 52 allow farmers to build a home on their land. What is prohibited is building a 2nd home, which is what they want to do.
When you tell farmers they can't sell their land to whomever they want, you are infringing on their rights as property owners. Areas without these land use policies provide a lower cost of living for everyone. Even the supposed goal of the ALR is corrupt.
This was a perfect example of value added ... revived a failed farm, did everything right, recovered the land, concentrated on the business, tried to play by the rules and are not allowed to build a home ... a perfect example of rules that conflict with common sense. Start the change by voting PPC in a couple weeks and bring fairness back. BTW build your house.
From Ontario my channel is LifefromAshes , I am very unhappy with this information as a Canadian!!! if I was able to sign your petition I would in a heart beat! But I'm not from BC! None the less outraged and saddened by this! I certainly hope you all can get this resolved, prayers for your farmers and families 💕🌄🏡🌻🌾
I work as a land survey party Chief and I can tell you first-hand I've witnessed things that turn my stomach the letter of the law can be bent beyond the point of breaking as long as there's enough lawyers to back it up right now so much all our land on Vancouver Island is being stratified because it can't be subdivided and they're building little mini mansions on it and charging many hundreds of thousands for each house, where I am currently ALR land can't be broken down into anything smaller than 5 Acres so a local developer bought a whole bunch of farmland subdivided it down to five acre lots then stratified all those lots down to two and a half acres and literally sells each little 2 and 1/2 acre bit for as much as he bought the entire area for..... oh and the best thing is because these many mansions are being built on agricultural land all they have to do is have a few ducks or a horse or a chicken or two and they get to claim all sorts of tax breaks as a farm even though they are not and this is blatantly used in their marketing of these places. I don't know if this is what the video is about but within the first minute I had to write all of this because I do know a lot about the ALR and I see some disgusting things happening with it
Okay now I've watched the video and all I got to say is what the Unholy fuc!!!!!!! I literally know people who have had Brewing facilities who have been forced off of ALR land!!!! A woman 30 minutes down the highway from where this lady is nearly lost her entire business as a result of this luckily the community banded together and helped her out. Also why you have to be able to brew alcohol to serve lettuce it makes no sense we need to start sacrificing politicians for climate change or something
Also in regards to her house and she needs to talk to someone because I routinely see Farms with multiple structures, the concrete foundation is a big deal but no one is going to stop her from building a barn and when you build a barn you can put in all the infrastructure for a house and once it's passed all of its inspections then you finish the building, but I'm really surprised they won't let her have a second dwelling most Farms have the right to have several outbuildings all with concrete foundation... kind of feels to me like her local politicians want her Farm gone so they can subdivide her land and build expensive houses on it like they're doing everywhere else on our beautiful little Island..
now I'm angry and I can't stop ranting the politicians out here have caused us to stop producing food my old landlord used to have 20 acres and many head of cattle he produced beef for many years delicious beef then they changed the rules and said that he was no longer allowed to have to be killed on sight it had to be sent off to a slaughterhouse where the cows would sometimes wait up to a week without food or water to be processed in this time the meat would become gross the animals would become stressed and sick and the difference in the meat quality despite the fact that they told him it was his Charis was so different that he stopped farming because he wouldn't eat what they were telling him was his own meet and he actually didn't believe that it was his own meat anymore,, the street I used to live on had 5 houses, even 10 years ago these were all producing Farms with grain, cattle, pork, poultry vegetables and pretty much anything you needed to feed yourself.. the only thing you can get on that road anymore is eggs,,, bureaucracy stupid rules and the cost of land and Taxation on this ALR land literally stopped food production....
CURTIS: you have the idea backasswards. When you have farmland, you can build all the building necessary that contribute to farming the product. Dwellings are restricted, but additional accommodation can be added for farm workers. Restaurants Do NOT belong on a FARM. The winery and booze business developed through a different set of circumstances. Restaurants belong in a commercial zoned area, so if you want to have a restaurant and supply food to the restaurant, then there is another set of rules and restrictions... ie eggs, milk, butchering, etc. Am I wrong ???? Simply put, restaurants are not a farming business.
Hey genius: get the government out 100%. A business is a business. Don't care what product it is selling. Limiting it is beyond stupid and nothing but government over reach. Power hungry asshats who have never done anything(government employees), F off.
@@w8stral the really free market produced the Great Depression and the Dust Bowl. no limits means that people will destroy the land, poison the water for the highest return, and then move onto the next piece of land that can be milked, until there's no more usable land left. We have already been there, why do you have to repeat the mistakes of the previous generations?
@@Vladigraph Ignorance is bliss... Great Depression was caused by the Brits changing their gold standard for debts owed from WWI and Hoover proping up failed companies.
Dust bowl dear genius was caused by temperatures 15F above normal for ~5 straight years with very little rain leading to the hottest years in USA/Canadian history by a VERY large margin.
So, your examples are GOVERNMENT FUCKING up, and the weather FUCKING up. You sir are a genius.
@@w8stral nice try, mister potty mouth. The brits abandoned only 2 years after Great Depression started, so no, it didn't cause it. And Hoover didn't have any control over companies in France or China, so no, he wasn't the reason either. The totally unregulated capitalism was.
As far as the dustbowl - it's not like it's the only time when people have destroyed their land. If the soil was maintained properly then it would not have happened. California just had 6 years of drought and record heat, and the Central Valley has not been blown out. So sorry to pop your bubble.
@@Vladigraph Nice try. Brits changed their gold standard BEFORE Depression and AFTER.
Dear geography fool: California grows NOTHING without a thing called giant dams and IRRIGATION
Agri-Corps in the U.S. have been up to the same thing, using pleasantly named laws to harras and impede small farm competition. This also disrupts people from forming local independent economies. The significance of this is that, a people who can not find ways of feeding themselves without being tied into the corporate economy will be afraid to resist or disrupt it. So naturally, this erosion of our basic liberties is discussed regularly by the corporate media... right?
signed! this is just shocking, i had no idea...like you said, i thought oh, the ALR, that's great, protect farmlands....
Don't give up and pray
Wow. Just wow. Wow. We have some pretty ridiculous zoning laws/bylaws in BC
That is true here in California. Such a disconnect between rhetoric and RESULTS.
What if they don't sell alcohol? This is nuts. Get the TV channels to do stories on locally grown food.
A person will never prevail against the tyranny of corporate government, but a Man in the private will.
