Barrington Hills board spurns flower farm

The owners of the Little Ducky Flower Farm will have to work harder to get their ducks in a row.

Barrington Hills village trustees for the second time turned down Chris Yamamoto and wife Sarah Gul’s request for a new zoning category that would allow them to open the farm to the public as a special use.

In August, the board unanimously rejected a proposal to have zoning for agritourism in a residential district. Then on Monday, a category for agricultural experience.

The couple began operating the farm on their six-acre property on Dundee Road in 2022, letting people come in and pick flowers for a fee, until the village sent them a letter earlier this year ordering them to stop. Since then, they have operated as a delivery service.

Both the Zoning Board of Appeals and the village board took issue with having a commercial use on residential property. Yamamoto said the fees were charged to offset the cost of operating the farm, which also has sheep and ducks.

“We are a residential community,” Trustee Thomas Strauss said. “Our duty as trustees is to uphold the values of the community.”
