Abstract:
The Bovender family of Rutherford County, Tim, Nell, and children Will and Ali, are the 2006 North Carolina Farm Conservation Family of the Year. The farm began in 1768 as a 200-acre land grant from King George III and has grown into a 1,000-acre one. The award is given annually by the North Carolina Division of Soil and Water Conservation and recognizes farmers who implement conservation-friendly techniques on their farms, often at great personal expense. Placing one-third of the farm under a conservation easement and installing 45,000 feet of fencing to keep cows out of streams that flow through the farm are two conservation things the family has done.

Abstract:
Arthur and Zee Campbell opened The Cottages at Spring House Farm on Haynes Road north of Lake Lure in Rutherford County in July 2000. The Campbells purchased the property to preserve the natural heritage of the farm and the history of the 1826 Albertus Ledbetter house. The home is a rare and intact example of transitional Federal/Greek Revival architecture of post-beam construction.
