An internationally-known lifestyle influencer has hopes for a store on state Route 248 within Kamas city limits.

This petition seeks to annex a 14-acre parcel of land on the south side of state Route 248 west of Kamas.

It’s owned by Daniel and Hannah Neeleman, the family better known as Ballerina Farm on social media. They’ve garnered an international audience of followers interested in their pastoral lifestyle in the Kamas Valley.

They have a farm on North Democrat Alley but hope to build a store and creamery on the main road into town. It could also include a garden, orchard, livestock facilities and event center.
