On January 20, 2026, the Decatur Township Board approved the Conditional Use Permit for Nuts about Deeβs Berries. This approval is one of the required steps toward hosting on-farm events such as gatherings, workshops, and celebrations tied to our perennial orchard.
Weβre grateful for the thoughtful review and support from the township as we continue working through the remaining approvals needed to open the farm to the public in new ways.
Β
π What This Approval Means
This approval allows us to move forward with planning future on-farm events while continuing to develop our orchard of specialty fruits and nuts, including honeyberries, currants, aronia,pawpaws, and chestnuts. It represents progress toward creating a place where agriculture, education, and community come together.
A second review with Green County Zoning is scheduled for March 18, 2026, which is required before events can be officially hosted.

π Whatβs Next
Weβll continue sharing updates as we work through the remaining approvals and prepare the farm for future public offerings. If youβd like to follow along, weβll be posting milestones here as they happen.
We appreciate everyone who has supported this project as it continues to take shape.
Upcoming updates
With this approval in place, the next few weeks mark a busy and exciting stretch for the farm. Several key milestones are coming together as we move from planning into active installation and planting.
In the weeks ahead, we expect to share updates on:
Arrival and planting of elderberry cuttings
Early chestnut seed germination as trays come to life
Foundation work for the farm building, anticipated in mid-February
Start of farm building construction shortly after
Well installation, expected late February into March
The upcoming Green County Conditional Use Permit hearing
Arrival of seaberry plants and grafting materials for spring work
Weβll continue sharing updates as each of these milestones takes shape.
As always, timelines remain weather- and approval-dependent, but weβre excited to keep moving forward.
