The parcel lies within the <br /> >cluster of existing buildings on th- farm, and • • - not include any tillable land. The <br /> site would make use of the existing • -v-way and electrical service. If the rezoning is <br /> approved, we would like to begin construction in August of 1995, with-the goal of <br /> finishing in December, 1995. <br /> The propos • a ildi•: ' • . . incl food processing area and residential <br /> .space for .everal farm worker- including the b�as er. For financial and logistical <br /> reasons, w- - - to . • .or s residet-tlie farm. Consolidating these two • <br /> functions in a single building is the most economical use of both our financial <br /> resources and the land. The Town of Vermont Planning Commission has <br /> recommended approval of the zoning change. <br /> Cress Spring Farm has been producing organic fruits and vegetables since 1989, selling <br /> directly to members of our CSA and at the Dane County Farmers Market. The bakery <br /> would build on this success by using grains and produce grown on the farm, and by <br /> distributing bread both through the CSA and at the farmer's market. There will be no <br /> retail sales at the farm. We believe that the bakery will enhance the financial viability <br /> of the farm by adding value to crops and extending the selling season, and is consistent <br /> with the agricultural use of the land. <br /> Thank you for your consideration.If you have questions for us, please call me at 257- <br /> 3649 or Roger Eischens at 767-3931. <br /> Since ely, <br /> Jef ord <br /> Cress Spring Farm <br /> • <br />
