To continue our program of
maintaining the basic integrity of the farm, we then opted to sell off
several parcels for either small villages or clusters to further
retire the debt. However,
in 2002, Lower Windsor Township adopted a comprehensive plan calling
for 10-acre minimum lot sizes for the remainder of the farm.
To complete the Chapter 11 reorganization using 10-acre lots
would have forced us to dot the entire farm with houses, and would
have destroyed the integrity of the farm.
Therefore, we elected to fight the new zoning, that threatened
to remove our ability to protect the farm, in any way the law allowed,
namely the submission of subdivision plans.
