It was only a few weeks ago that Jim Miller, the owner of Moon Dancer Winery in eastern York County, was celebrating the producer’s 20th anniversary.
The winery was forced to close as a result of a court order stemming from a legal dispute regarding the use of the winery’s farm property on Klines Run Road, the business“The social media response has been comforting,” Miller said on the phone Sunday afternoon, “but it doesn’t necessarily solve the problem at this point.”
Miller said Sunday that he was limited by what he could say by the ongoing litigation that has been going on for a handful of years. But, he said, “We thought was dead in the water and all of a sudden got hit with this court order four days after our 20th anniversary on 25th completely out of the blue.”
Not that any time is good for a business to shut its doors, but the timing for Moon Dancer couldn’t be worse. Its dozen employees now will be looking for other jobs and any high school or college students looking for seasonal work no doubt will reroute to other businesses.
