This petition is to show Blenheim Homes that the Bayberry Development and the community at large desire and want the farm. Currently the farm's lease that is held by Blenheim Homes runs out November 2015.

The reason Blenheim has stated for not renewing the lease is that recently HOA's have been unwilling to take over the open space areas of the development when they are required to. The open space areas of Bayberry will be turned over to the HOA in the next couple years and they do not want to have the farm apart of the open space when this happens just in case it becomes a sticking point in turning over the open space to the HOA. Even when the farm would be paying a leasing fee to the HOA.

As the farmer of Bayberry Farm I do not believe this would be the case. Bayberry Farm I feel is a great part of Bayberry. My hope is as the development continues to grow so to does the farm. You decided to move into Bayberry for several reasons and one of those was, (as stated on the the Community Plan Page for the development) "An organic farm growing and selling fresh vegetables and produce to enhance Bayberry's "healthy-living" lifestyle". This was a marketing feature that Blenheim Homes has promised to you.
