I am interested in researching the legality of starting a home based farm/ business on commercial or industrial land. I was wondering if anyone had experience with this kind of thing in Michigan or had some helpful links. I tried to google many keywords but nothing too helpful seems to pop up. By the way I am also planning on living on the property too. Thanks!
