An Abbotsford, B.C. farmer says she will have to cancel more than two dozen weddings on her farm after all, due to new demands from the Agricultural Land Commission in its crackdown on rural nuptials.
Woodbridge Ponds owner Caroline Mostertman says she had five more weddings booked at her blueberry farm this year and nearly two dozen before the end of 2016 — but she will have to cancel them all.
“At this point I just have to admit that there’s no hope that we’ll be able to finish off the weddings for next year,” Mostertman told CBC News on Wednesday.
Mostertman’s problems began in the fall, when the ALC apparently began a crackdown on non-agricultural activity — like weddings — on the lands it governs.
