Hello,
I am a Brewster citizen and am very sad that the Great Cape Tiny Village property and Herb Shop have been closed because of orders from the Brewster Building Department. This property is a Brewster treasure and always welcoming to the public.
I request that you call me to clarify exactly why this has happened, as there seems to be conflicting information within the letter you sent to the owner, which I, and many, have read on the internet.
Thank you— your name
address, phone, email

Suggestion #3
Share tone of the above letters or some of our posts on the Facebook groups—Great Cape Tiny Village , the Brewster Community Space, Brewster Cape Cod.
Share with your own groups so that we can muster more support. There is strength in numbers.
Many many thanks— your Great Cape Tiny Village team, and many other people who want to have the property and the Herb Shop re-open.
Will send the following note to the Brewster Town Council. will let you know the answer.
“I am a customer of the Great Cape Herb Shop. Is your town somehow stopping them from selling herbs over the internet. If so, what law allows this? Some of the things they sell could be extremely important to the health of an individual. You may not realize that Stephen Brown has traveled extensively and has some herb combinations that no one else has. Even the exact soil that an herb is grown in can determine healing effectiveness of that herb.”
Suggest that the Co-op read carefully the final draft of the Brewster development plan dated Sep. this year. You can use that plan to apply for grants in housing, agriculture, conservation and so many other things maybe including for land use grants from Mass Agriculture Dept. Might be a way to get Stephen adequate compensation for his property.
