Q. Can I fence off my land.  A. Yes, you can fence your homesite. The remainder of your land will be under an agriculture easement, and cannot be separated from adjoining parcels as these are farmed as one large farm, not small individual farms.

Q. I have dogs, is there a problem? Not as long as the dogs are kept on your homesite, and not allowed to run loose. You can imagine the potential problem with livestock.

Q. I have experience growing a special crop, but I need more acreage than just my homesite. Can I do that? Yes, if you're willing to first make the crop available to the other homeowners at the same price you would sell it for to others. The FOA can make extra acreage available to you on a long term basis by a mutual agreement. You would be a niche farmer under the umbrella of the Farm Management Team.
