Cheyenne council annexes WY Fresh Farm after owners request reversal

The Cheyenne City Council voted 8-2 to annex WY Fresh Farm’s 5.6-acre property, ending an eight-month dispute. In a reversal, owners David and Tommie Kniseley asked the council to approve the annexation, saying the conflict had made operating the farm impractical and that selling the land was their best option to finance a move and restart elsewhere. The owners had warned that city rules and potential nuisance complaints would make continued operations difficult, despite changes intended to let the farmstand keep operating. Tommie Kniseley told the council, “The damage has been done.” The annexation takes effect Dec. 7.
