Daily News | The plan for an ‘Ocean City Winery’ hit a major snag in front of the county farm board
CAPE MAY COURT HOUSE — A couple dozen neighbors came prepared to face off against Mike and Robin Halpern,with a dream of opening something called the “Ocean City Winery.”
“This just seems like a colossal waste of everybody’s time,” said Alfred Natali, one of five unpaid members of the Cape May County Agricultural Development Board, and himself the founder of Natali Vineyards in Cape May County. “And that’s before we ever get to the merits.”that once were home to a tree farm, but now are the property of the Halperns, who moved to the area from Collingswood with a dream of opening a winery.
The Halperns say they have tried repeatedly to accommodate the neighbor’s concerns, agreeing not to hold weddings, limiting the hours and capacity, and moving the entrance to the proposed winery off the local residential street and onto Route 9. Does the issue call into question the ruling back in October that the Halperns’ property is a commercial farm?
