Buncombe County Soil and Water Conservation District’s (BCSWCD) Farmland Preservation Program is excited to announce the protection of 4 farms totaling in 156.2 acres in the County’s prime farming regions this summer. Barnardsville, Fairview, and Weaverville have all traditionally been farming communities with prime soils for agriculture, as well as statewide and locally important soils. Protecting these farms is not only important in retaining their agricultural value, but also in fulfilling family dreams of keeping farms intact and protecting their beauty so that future generations may be able to appreciate them in the same way that we do now.
