Maple Lane Farms Lawsuit
Maple Lane Farms in recent years has been transformed from just a farm to an agritainment mecca for the surrounding counties. In 1999, the farm held its first corn maze. Since that time, it has increased its entertainment portfolio to include multiple concerts and festival during the year.
The ever increasing crowds prompted a neighbor of the farm to take action to limit the crowded concerts and festivals. V. J. Shore complained to the Blount County Board of Zoning Appeals about the loud noise and increased traffic. The board replied by limiting the farm to one concert per year.
That wasn’t enough. Shore took legal action and sued the Maple Lane Farms in February in hopes of ending all entertainment events at the farm.
The story has taken another turn. Shore is suing Building Commissioner Roger Fields and county mayor’s attorney Rob Goddard. She alleges that they hurt her reputation in the community and subjected her to ridicule and hatred.
