Leave it to the land of fruits and nuts.
..Katie and Sabrina Lewis’ veggie stand, in the town of Clayton, Calif., where they sold homegrown watermelons for $1, has been shuttered by town officials who told the girls’ parents that their daughters’ venture violated local zoning ordinances.
[...]
Lewis said his daughter, now assisted by 3-year-old Sabrina, operated her stand on weekends, maybe 20 or so times during the year. They’d bring in about $10 to $20 a week.
“I take it and once I’ve got about $20 to $30, I’ll bring it to the bank and put it in my bank account for college,” Katie told ABCNews.com.
[...]
But Clayton Mayor Gregory Manning said he first heard of the girls’ operation this past April, after two residents called to ask if it was legal. Two months later, a police officer was sent to the stand to tell the Lewises that the girls were violating zoning regulations that prohibit commercial activities in a residential area.
As one comment from the article had this to say:
