D. Are there sustainability plans for the project? If yes, please describe. If not, please explain <br />why. <br />When the larger farm passes to Colonel Breeze's children (Wm Breeze Jr. and Ann Breeze Sebesan) <br />both are expected to continue leasing the farm to area farmers. if they decide to sell the farmland <br />(encumbered by the easement) it would likely be to a farmer interested in continuing agricultural activities. <br />The proximity to the adjacent NC State agricultural research facility makes it an attractive location. <br />Moreover, the farm is located in an agricultural community with good access to farm markets. It is five <br />miles from downtown Hillsborough (county seat), which has two farmers markets and Weaver Street <br />Market featuring locally -grown food. Orange County is working to establish regional Shared Use Food <br />Processing Center (awarded an ADFP Trust Fund grant in 2008), which would be a tremendous asset to <br />area farmers. <br />Page 13 of 17 Easement Application <br />
