Get your facts straight.

The neighbors are not new, they've been there a long time.

So your coming to the nuisance argument must fail.

The issue is that the activity at Ames Farm has grown increasingly commercial over time, and they apparently did not bother to secure the appropriate permits etc. from the appropriate government activities which would allow it.

I don't know whether Ames Farm would have been allowed to engage in the questioned commercial activities had they bothered to seek permission.

But now it's probably too late: Ames seems to have run afoul of the law, and the quasi-political question is: what to do about it?

Of course, if they can marshall the necessary proof to support their argument that the questioned uses are grandfathered, then the problem is solved.

Thus far, they've been unable to do so.
