Gilford approves small farmstand permit for Morrill Street homesteaders
Summary
The Planning Board approved a home‑occupation permit allowing Bethany and Gregg Selesky to operate a movable 4'x10' farmstand on 138 Morrill Street on an honor system, subject to making the structure temporary/mobile, moving it to the rear in winter, and obtaining required approvals.
The Gilford Planning Board approved a Home Occupation Permit for Bethany and Gregg Selesky to operate a small farmstand at 138 Morrill Street (Application #2026000169). The applicants said they practice homesteading on the property — raising chickens and quails, growing fruits and vegetables, and making breads — and tested a small scale sale last year with positive neighborhood response.
Bethany Selesky described the proposed stand as "approximately 4’x10’" on skids and said it would operate on an honor system; the couple said they would move the structure to the back of the property in winter. The board approved the application on the condition the shed remain a temporary/mobile structure and that the applicants obtain any necessary federal, state, or local approvals. Planning staff and board members also discussed temporary power via extension cord and setback issues related to movable structures.
