Construction Begins on Unique Development in The Valley

by Emma Embellischer

There has never been a better time throughout human history to be alive than right now. We have every modern convenience imaginable. You can order an item on a small handheld computer/phone/camera in less than 30 seconds, and it’ll show up on your doorstep 2 days later. You and your family want to have movie night; you don’t even have to get off the couch. You can pick a movie among thousands available on your smart tv and watch it for free. In the past, you’d have to drive to Blockbuster and actually rent a physical tape or disc to watch a movie. It’s mind-blowing when you stop and think about how great things actually are for us now. However, not everything is hunky dory.

Many people are yearning for the good ole days especially when it comes to our food. Our food is a problem. We’re very busy these days which means we don’t have time to cook fresh food. So, many people eat out or eat processed food all the time. It’s not good for us, and it’s causing a myriad of health problems. Plus, most fresh food has been grown with pesticides, and additives and harmful preservatives are added to many foods. You’ve started to see people take matters into their own hands in the past few years. More people are growing their own food, keeping chickens for eggs, having cows for milk, and more.

Let’s Homestead, LLC has started developing a unique neighborhood outside of Valley City. This neighborhood is being built around a farm instead of a golf course. The neighborhood will be called Nostalgia Farms, and ground was broken on it last week. Let’s Homestead, LLC President John Farmer said, “We’re excited to bring this new concept to The Valley. We’ll have 50 lots in this development, and they’ll surround a 25 acre farm. The farm will have multiple barns for livestock, and it will have a nice large chicken coup. There will also be a sizable pond on the back of the property. We expect a ton of interest in the lots when we put them on the market.”

Residents of Nostalgia Farms will have to sign an agreement and agree to certain terms to live there. Everyone will have to work on the farm to grow and tend to the fruits and vegetables, and they will also have to tend to the animals. Noncompliance could result in expulsion from the neighborhood. Farmer said, “We’re working on ironing out the requirements for the residents, but everyone will be required to work and do their share to live there.”

Also, pesticides and herbicides will not be allowed in Nostalgia Farms, and only classic and regenerative farming practices will be allowed. Residents will enjoy fresh organic fruits and vegetables, fresh farm-raised eggs, raw milk, and more. Also, 5G will not be allowed in the neighborhood because of its potential harmful effects. It will be heaven on earth for some, but some aren’t crazy about the idea.

One Valleyan said, “I don’t know about this new neighborhood; I’m pretty leery of it. I heard they were going to build wall around it. Is this supposed to be utopia for a bunch of hippies and granola people? This could turn into a compound for a crazy cult, and I don’t like it. I hope law enforcement keeps an eye on these people.”

Another resident said, “I love this idea! I’m not sure I can talk my husband into moving there, but it would be great. Fresh veggies, fresh eggs, raw milk, fresh sourdough bread, and more! We could teach our kids the value of hard work. I’d love to get out of our subdivision and live in this heaven on earth.”

This is definitely a unique concept, and it will be interesting to see how it goes. I could see this concept being a hit, and I could see more of these neighborhoods being built going forward. We’ll be here to cover the progress of Nostalgia Farms.
