The state of Vermont, for purposes of exempting farm activities and structures from local zoning, defines agricultural enterprise and farming as follows:

(a) is used in connection with the sale of $1000 or more of agricultural products in a normal year; or
(b) is used in connection with the raising, feeding, and management of at least the following number of adult animals: four equines; five cattle or American bison; fifteen swine; fifteen goats; fifteen sheep; fifteen fallow deer; fifteen red deer; fifty turkeys; fifty geese; one-hundred laying hens; two-hundred and fifty broilers, pheasant, Chukar partridge, or Coturnix quail; three camelids; four ratites (ostriches, rheas, and emus); thirty rabbits; one hundred ducks; or one-thousand pounds of cultured trout; or
(c) is used by a farmer filing with the Internal Revenue Service a 1040 (F) income tax statement in at least one of the past two years; or
(d) is on a farm with a business and farm management plan approved by the Secretary.

If your activities meet one of these four categories you may submit this form rather than make an application for a zoning permit.
