10.03 Domesticated Animals

(a) This being a community that supports vegan principles, the keeping of domesticated farm animals (chickens, pigs, horses, cows, etc) shall be prohibited.

Note: While most owners at Fruit Haven work diligently to uphold the community’s by-laws, there have been a few practices that do not fully align with our founding vegan values. We are actively working on an amendment to address these concerns in a way that is fair, respectful, and satisfactory to all owners. This amendment will help reinforce our commitment to a compassionate and sustainable lifestyle, in keeping with the principles Fruit Haven was established upon.
