Declining to host same-sex weddings at an apple orchard is not enough to disqualify a Catholic vendor from the farmer’s market in East Lansing, Michigan, a federal district judge ruled Monday.

Country Mill Farms and its owner, Steve Tennes, sued after East Lansing in 2017 required sellers at the open-air market to abide by the same nondiscrimination rules imposed on city contractors.

City officials imposed the requirement after learning that Country Mill Farms would not host same-sex weddings at its orchard but would instead refer couples to another farm that would do so. He wrote the farm “reserves the right to deny a request for services that would require it to communicate, engage in, or host expression that violates the owners’ sincerely held religious beliefs and conscience.”
