Plum Run Family Farms This Land is Your Land
A nice happy peaceful place r0n the country
On some of the most scenic and fertile farmland at Plum Run, a limited number of 3-acre plots of land have been set aside for authentic family farms. There you can build your own period country farmhouse. While every house of these limited edition family farms will be subject to the approval of our Plum Run Design Committee, every attempt will be made not to inhibit freedom of expansion of individuality. The only thing we ask is that you turn back the clock, architecturally speaking, and build your home in the style of the late 1700's or early 1800's. You'll find our Design Committee filled with suggestions and plans for you and your architect to work from. Soon these beautiful Family Farms will be dotted with homes ranging from rambling two-story colonial type houses to tiny; saltbox honeymoon cottages. They will be country houses that carefully preserve the rural 1800's pastoral scene. Your 3-acre Family Farm is your own country estate. It gives you the room to add those things not readily available on the common lands of Plum Run Farms. Maybe a flower garden, a greenhouse, potting shed, a real woodworking shop, a swimming pool, a pony barn, a guest house, raising collie dogs-you tell us what you like to do and our Design Committee will help you fit it into your particular Family Farm site. Maybe you'd just like to be surrounded with deep green grass and trees. It's your life and you owe it to yourself to enjoy it. Each Family Farm owner is automatically an ownermember of Plum Run Farms Inc., a not-for-profit corporation. Every resident of Plum Run will own jointly these common lands containing a full and complete working community farm.
Top flight professional agronomists and their staff will manage and work for you a productive farm containing beef cattle, chickens for eggs, vegetable farms, berry and fruit orchards, as well as the barns and accessory buildings needed to operate the large farm. It's a great place for kids to work too, earning good wages and occupying their free time in a healthy productive way. Also located on the farm will be a complete greenhouse and nursery where seedlings can be started early and where experimental hybridization and controlled testing of superior strains of vegetables and fruits will be conducted. Flowers and shrubbery will be raised to further beautify the dwellings at Plum Run. Nearby will be the processing and freezing plant where the foods grown on the Plum Run Farms will be prepared for storage and sale only to the residents of Plum Run. Here your favorite cuts of beef, grown on your own lands, processed by local packers, will be available at your lockers of Plum Run Farms, Inc. Farm fresh eggs, and field ripened vegetables and fruits will be available to you at cost from Plum Run Farms, Inc. Foods and meats not grown on your own lands will be purchased from nearby farmers and wholesalers and sold to you at cost. Imagine what kind of savings this will mean! Better Homes and Gardens says that food now costs 1/6 of our income, and prices are going higher- some say up to 1/3 of our income within the next decade! Half the costs are tacked on by processors and distributors after the food leaves the farm. If this be true, you could save enough on food to pay your mortgage payment at Plum Run. In fact, the same magazine showed that for every $1.00 worth of canned beets, the cost to the farmer would be only 6'Z fresh from the earth!
Win'the community farm area is a large barn which will be used as a stable for the horses owned by the people who will live at Plum Run. This will be part of one of three community meeting houses which will include several lighted all-weather tennis courts, large olympic-sized swimming pools for adults, and smaller pools for children. It will be a place where people make their own fun as in the good old days, with swings in trees, cozy card rooms, horseshoe pitching and shady places for picnics and active outdoor sports like softball. As you drive through Plum Run you'll see many such picnic areas and play areas set beside the twenty lakes and ponds within the Plum Run land. Some will be accessible only by bicycle or by walking down gravel trails that lead to little parks, picnic-type areas that have mowed grass and a picnic table or a few wooden benches to rest on, and other natural areas that have been left just as nature intended, where rabbits can be heard in the underbush and goldfinches fly among the greenery. Many different types of trails are planned, so that everyone will be able to enjoy his life at Plum Run in his own way. There will he the paved bicycle trails and walking trails that will make it possible for people to reach any point at Plum Run Farms without the use of a car. There will also be horseback riding trails that wind for miles and miles back into some of the most scenic and treed lands of Plum Run. So for those who like to ride but find that every day there is less country to ride in, Plum Run offers the ideal place to enjoy the unencumbered freedom of riding.
The Care Center will give children an enjoyable place for recreation when their parents are at work or enjoying leisure time activities. Everyone purchasing a Family Farm is naturally concerned about the soundness of his land investment dollars. Unlike just any small farm acreage, your Family Farm represents a unique value. It should be remembered that your 3-acre tract is forever joined with the multi-million dollar Plum Run Farms, Inc. As time goes on, your own 3-acre tract will surely go up in value, but it will be enhanced even more because of the accompanying value in Plum Run Farms, Inc. So your Family Farm is not only the nicest, happiest, most peaceful little farm you ever saw, it's also the nicest, happiest, most peaceful investment you'll ever make.
