PURPOSE: To consider applications from eight (8) landowners/farms to certify qualifying
farmland within the Caldwell, Cedar Grove, Schley/Eno, and Cane Creek/Buckhorn Voluntary
Agricultural Districts; and enroll the lands in the Orange County Farmland Preservation
Voluntary Agricultural District program.
BACKGROUND: Orange County's Voluntary Farmland Preservation Program was started in
1992. To date, there are 101 farms in both the Voluntary Agricultural District (VAD) and the
Enhanced Voluntary Agricultural District (EVAD) programs —totaling 13,343** acres.
The County's Voluntary Farmland Protection Ordinance (VFPO) outlines a procedure for the
Agricultural Preservation Board to review and approve applications for qualifying farmland, and
to make recommendations to the Board of Commissioners concerning the establishment and
modification of agricultural districts. Section VII of the VFPO contains the requirements for
inclusion in a voluntary agricultural district. To be certified as qualifying farmland, a farm must:
a) Be located in the unincorporated area of Orange County;
b) Be engaged in Agriculture as that word is defined in NC GS 106-581.1
c) Be certified by the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) of the United States Department of
Agriculture as being a farm on which at least two-thirds of the land is composed of soils that are best suited for
providing food, seed,fiber,forage, timber,forestry products, horticultural crops and oil seed crops;
d) Be managed in accordance with the Natural Resources Conservation Service and NC Soil and Water
Conservation Service defined erosion-control practices that are addressed to said highly-erodible land; and
have a current conservation farm plan and/or forestry management plan associated with the current usages
and owner; and
e) Be the subject of a non-binding conservation agreement, as defined in N.C.G.S. §121-35, between the County
and the owner that prohibits non-farm use or development of such land for a period of at least ten years, except
for the creation of not more than three lots that meet applicable County zoning and subdivision regulations.
The Orange County Agricultural Preservation Board reviewed the findings of the staff
assessments for the attached applications for the Orange County Voluntary Agricultural District
program at its September and November 2018 meetings. All farm applications were reviewed
2
and verified to have met or exceeded the minimum criteria for certification into the program.
There are no applications at this time for the Enhanced Voluntary Agricultural District (EVAD)
program.
The Agricultural Preservation Board voted unanimously to recommend approval of the
certification for eight (8) farms, and their inclusion in the Voluntary Agricultural District program.
The certification documentation is on file in the DEAPR/Soil and Water Conservation District
office. The farms are described briefly below:

FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is no financial impact associated with this item. Voluntary
Agricultural Districts are non-monetary and non-binding conservation agreements. Enhanced
Voluntary Agriculture Districts are non-monetary and are binding 10-year conservation
agreements.
SOCIAL JUSTICE IMPACT: The following Orange County Social Justice Goal is applicable to
this item:
• GOAL: ENSURE ECONOMIC SELF-SUFFICIENCY
The creation and preservation of infrastructure, policies, programs and funding necessary
for residents to provide shelter, food, clothing and medical care for themselves and their
dependents.
The Orange County Voluntary Agricultural District Program ordinance conserves, protects and
encourages the preservation and improvement of agricultural land within the County boundaries
as a critical component of the County's cultural and rural character and its economy by virtue of
the production of food, fiber and other products. The purpose of this Ordinance is to reduce the
loss of productive and existing farmland by promoting agricultural values and the general
welfare of the County, recognize the existence of important farmlands by seeking to minimize
risks of nuisance suits that arise from the onset of other land uses, encourage participation in
voluntary programs to preserve and protect farmland from non-farm development and increase
identity and awareness of the agricultural community, and its role in the economic and cultural
quality of life for all County residents. (From the Orange County VAD program ordinance)
RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board certify the eight (8) farm
properties noted above totaling 960 acres* (VAD); designate the properties as Voluntary
Agricultural District farms within the Caldwell, Cedar Grove, Schley/Eno, and Cane
Creek/Buckhorn Voluntary Agricultural Districts; and enroll the lands in the Orange County
Farmland Preservation Program Voluntary Agricultural District (VAD) program.
With approval of these additional acres, the Orange County Farmland Preservation program will
have enrolled 109 farms totaling 11,737 acres* in the VAD and 2,566* acres in the EVAD, for a
total of 14,303 acres** (rounded) in the program.
*acres are rounded numbers
**acres have been corrected to reflect accurate acres, adjustments for enrollment changes and ownership changes
