I just saw this on TBJ (Triangle Business Journal).
The plan, says developer Rick Bagel, is to build a 230-acre neighborhood subdivision with about 140 single family homes on a piece of property that's within a 20-minute drive from downtown Durham.
Instead of incorporating an expensive clubhouse, tennis courts or golf course for neighbors to use, this neighborhood, called Wetrock Farm, would have its own 15-acre fruit and vegetable farm with weekly deliveries to home owners included in the cost of HOA dues.
Wow! That sounds refreshing...wave of the future perhaps?
Certainly bold and experimental but the idea has potential.
I also like the idea. The River Bluffs development in Wilmington is also planning an organic farm, and will sell the produce in a country store: River Bluffs Amenities - River Bluffs

Nice! Thanks for sharing! We have all kinds of cool things happening in NC
I love this idea, but much like the "cottage" concept mini-parks, and Seaside and other planned communities, the prices are far beyond what the average working stiff can afford. And for the average singleton, as usual, far outpacing what one person can probably manage. I hope it does well, and the concept trickles down to lower-cost neighborhoods and subdivisions. Better an organic farm than a bleeping golf course that constantly washes runoff and chemicals into the surrounding ecosystem. As far I can see, a golf course is a waste of perfectly good pasture land.
