  • Yolo County adopted ordinances for agricultural zoning in July 2014, allowing farm stays, farm dinners and other agritourism activities "by right".
  • The Capay Valley Vision's Agricultural Task Force, a group of Yolo County farmers, wrote this letter to provide input into the new ordinances. Some of the suggestions led to changes from earlier drafts of the ordinances, with a wider range of agricultural production and visitor-serving activities allowed "by right" in the final version than in the earlier versions.
