Hickory Grove Dairy Farm ~ 122 acres, Alamance and Chatham Counties

David and Dixie Newlin.  Bargain Sale of Conservation Easement.
 

In 1999, PLC purchased the development rights over 122 acres of Hickory Grove Dairy Farm at a bargain sale (below fair market value).  As the fourth farm to be permanently protected in the Sutphin Mill Community, the impact of  protecting Hickory Grove Dairy extends beyond its boundaries.  Each new easement granted is a reaffirmation of the community’s resolve to cooperatively work together to remain an agriculturally-based community and to preserve shared values. 

Project funding provided by the landowner, NC Farmland Preservation Trust Fund via the Conservation Trust for North Carolina, Kathleen Price Bryan Family Fund, and the Alamance Foundation.
