this fad will last a few years, like the hippie communes did

what these people really want is a Southern Living country home or hobby farm

Hipsters are always trying to play pretend with other people's reality.

we make jokes about that farmer dating site, but it's actually pretty hard for farmers to find potential wives

women just don't like the hard work and isolation of farm life

this fad will end when the women realize what they've gotten themselves into

There's an agrihood community here in Asheville. The lots are very expensive.

If they move away to communes to do this, how do they get their daily doses of arts, entertainment, and culture?

Do Country Clubs let blacks in now or do we just work there?

Replacing country clubs with manual labor, just another way to keep members of the Tribe out.

10-20 years from now when the current retires are gone that course will also be covered with houses. Golf is dying, and the land it occupies is too valuable for other purposes. Just google "golf disappearing", too many links to pick one to post.

My neighbor's brother lives in one of these very neighborhoods outside of Dallas, and it was all fun and games until the first freeze came and totally ruined every f****** thing they had in that big arse garden....and nobody ever went back to it. So they leveled that big garden and put a paved basketball court which gets used all the time now.

Not super interested in living on a golf course, but would definitely hate this. We buy a “share” of a local farm each season and can pick up our stuff at the farmers market each Saturday. And I golf when time permits. That’s close enough for me.

Let's be honest...millennials could not afford the initiation costs of country club membership and they would be denied during the interview process.

Are these farming millennials going to fight pests with natural means or are they willing to use pesticides?

Country clubs seem to be trying to entice younger people to join... I get a slight discount (for a few more years anyway) as a “young professional.”

Living on a golf course is different perhaps. If it’s successful enough, sure younger couples would likely be priced out. That’s always been true of the 20-30 crowd, not just millenials.

Neat idea, wonder how I can find out about it around Monroe?
