Abstract:

In this article the author is discussing how four farms in Durham are considered century farms which is a classification that protects the land from future development. There is over 2,000 farms in North Carolina that are considered century farms. The director of N.C Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, Andrea Ashbly, states that the century farm designation is meant to help recognize farms that have had decades or centuries of hard work put into them by the families that have lived there. As well as applauding the families that kept the farm running and within the family.
