This post is the last in a short series sharing our family’s experience trying to build a home on working agricultural land.

We’re writing this the way we farm, steady, practical, and honest. Not as a rant, and not to point fingers. Simply to document what happens when long-used rural access meets modern development rules.

Over the next few days, we’ll share the human story, the history of the road, the geography of river valley farmland, the policy questions this situation raises, and the path we’ve chosen moving forward.

If you live, work, or care about rural land, we hope this adds some clarity to a conversation many families don’t realize they’re stepping into.
