badseed“I bought that house because I wanted to be somewhere tranquil, peaceful.  I didn’t want to live next door to goats!”

Kansas City market farmers Dan Heryer and Brooke Salvaggio of BadSeed Farm recently asked for an exemption to the city codes controlling livestock in residential neighborhoods. Kansas City limits homeowners to two goats, which must be kept 200 feet from any buildings on nearby lots.
