Soil Friends LLC is suing Comstock Township and township officials

Farm co-owner Benjamin Martin says they had a cider tasting room permit that was issued in 2018 but the township got a compliance order from the Kalamazoo County District Court last December to shut it down saying its operations were not up to code. Martin says Township Supervisor Randy Thompson told them to stop criticizing the township on Facebook and said those would cause more issues with them seeking special exception use permits. No court date has been set.
