Yes, I think the Observer only keeps them to be read for a month or so..then they get archived. I didn't know they were there until recently either and I drive by the intersection all the time.
I wish more of my family members had held out, too, but they sold out the farms and now they are subdivisions . . . Most of that acreage went back to the turn of the 19th Century w/ ownership . . .so good for the Halls for holding on to the farmland.
I went out Saturday and picked some strawberries...they were sweet and juicy. I was talking to Kevin Hall and he is the grandson. It isn't just the money from developers that is turning farms into pavement, but other things like annexation and the way they are classified, etc. But there is a good article in Sunday's Observer about farms in neighboring counties too.
So refreshing to read. I live in Mooresville and the two short years i have been here i am just amazed at the rate of speed in which farm land is being sold to developers.Gone are the cows and in comes the Food Lion, makes me just gag
I have to agree, Im glad they are keeping the Farm
