BACKGROUND: Orange County's Voluntary Farmland Preservation Program was started in 1992. To date there are 155 farms in both the Voluntary Agricultural District (VAD) and the Enhanced Voluntary Agricultural District (EVAD) program — totaling 17,578 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: (1) Be located in the unincorporated area of Orange County; (2) Be used for bona fide farm purposes, as that term is defined in G.S. 106-743.4(a)and G.S. 160D-903; (3) Be in accordance with the minimum size requirements, which are as follows: (a) Consist of at least(i)one contiguous acre of land in production for horticultural or agricultural purposes; or(ii) at least twenty total acres of land under management for forestry; (b) In the event that a landowner has multiple tracts of qualifying farmland that are eligible, and those tracts are located within one mile or less of each other, then they may comprise a Voluntary Agricultural District. (4) Be managed in accordance with the Natural Resources Conservation Service and N.C. Division of Soil and Water Conservation defined erosion-control practices and have a current conservation farm plan and/or forestry management plan associated with the current usages and owner; and (5) Be the subject of a conservation agreement, as defined in N.C. Gen. Stat. § 121-35, between the County and the owner of such land that prohibits non-farm use or development of such land for a period of at least 2 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 regular meetings in January 2025 and March 2025. All farm applications were reviewed and verified to have met or exceeded the minimum criteria for certification into the program. The Agricultural Preservation Board voted to recommend approval of the certification for these three (3) farms, and their inclusion in the Voluntary and/or the Enhanced Voluntary Agricultural District programs. The certification documentation is on file in the DEAPR/Soil and Water Conservation District office. The farms are described briefly below: Brief Farm Descriptions: 1) Owners Lindsay and Philip Butler submitted an application to enroll one (1) parcel of land totaling 18.71 acres as qualifying farmland for a Voluntary Agricultural District in the Schley/Eno Agricultural District Region. The farm operation includes pasture for cattle. 2) Owners Peter Gundlach and Elizabeth Kage submitted an application to enroll four (4) parcels of land totaling 82.7 acres as qualifying farmland for an Enhanced Voluntary Agricultural District in the Caldwell Agricultural District Region. The farm operation includes one field in permanent grass cover and is otherwise primarily managed forest land. 3) Owner Ashley Cummings submitted an application to enroll one (1) parcel of land totaling 9.3 acres as qualifying farmland for a Voluntary Agricultural District in the Schley/Eno Agricultural District Region. The farm operation includes produce, cut flowers, honey production, eggs, and livestock. FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is no financial impact associated with this item. Voluntary Agricultural Districts are non-monetary and require a non-binding 10-year conservation agreement. Enhanced Voluntary Agricultural Districts are non-monetary and require a binding 10-year conservation agreement. ALIGNMENT WITH STRATEGIC PLAN: This item supports: • GOAL 1: ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AND CLIMATE ACTION OBJECTIVE 4. Incentivize and promote sustainable agriculture and local food systems development through supportive policy, funding, farmland protection and educational outreach. OBJECTIVE 6. Protect water supply/watersheds. RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board: 1) certify the three (3) farm properties noted above totaling 110.71 acres; 2) designate the Butler and Cummings farms as Voluntary Agricultural District farms within the Schley/Eno Agricultural District Regions; 3) designate the Gundlach/Kage farm as an Enhanced Voluntary Agricultural District farm within the Caldwell Agricultural District Region; and 3 4) enroll the lands in the Orange County Farmland Preservation Program's Voluntary Agricultural District (VAD) program as designated. With approval of these farms, the Orange County Farmland Preservation program will have enrolled 158 farms, totaling 14,892 acres in the VAD and 2,797 acres in the EVAD for a total of 17,689 acres in the program.
