What’s the point of having a great story if you don’t tell it over and over again?

Kihei Clark zips the ball halfway down the court, setting up a feathery equalizer from Mamadi Diakite as the buzzer sounds. Kyle Guy stands at the free throw line, looking like he’s about to vomit from nerves, but hits three free throws in a row to send the Hoos to the championship. De’Andre Hunter knocks down a corner three to push the tournament’s final game to overtime; Braxton Key’s dunk puts the exclamation point on the end of the magical run. Stunning victory, one year after stunning defeat. Two years later, the whole thing still sends a shiver down my spine.

With any luck, this weekend will see the UVA men’s basketball team take the court at the NCAA tournament for the first time since that championship game. Yes, it’s been a rocky season in more ways than one. Yes, they have an active case of COVID in the locker room and the whole thing could come tumbling down at any minute. It’s entirely possible that, between the time of this writing and the time this paper is in your hands, the Cavaliers will have withdrawn from the tournament because of the coronavirus.

Right now, though, like any good college basketball fan, I am foolishly optimistic about the team’s prospects, both for clearing COVID protocols and for winning some basketball games.

Who are we kidding—delusional confidence is the entire point of March Madness!

And even if UVA does have to withdraw, or even if the team shows up in Indianapolis and loses its opener, at least we will have had an opportunity to tell some good old stories.—Ben Hitchcock

Welcome to Governor’s school

IN BRIEF Civilian Resignation Board Another member of Charlottesville’s Police Civilian Review Board has resigned, the second person to do so since the board began meeting in July. This time, Dorenda Johnson is the one on her way out. The board’s meetings have been tense of late, with a recent meeting culminating with board chair Bellamy Brown feeling the need to assert that he is “not a misogynist.” Johnson signed off with an email saying simply: “Good evening please accept my resignation.”

Statue on the move?

After 15 years at the helm of Charlottesville City Schools, superintendent Dr. Rosa Atkins is retiring. Her last day is May 31.

“I’m so honored to have served the students, families, staff, and community of Charlottesville,” said Atkins in a press release. “I’ve actually postponed this decision for a while due to the pandemic, but I’m at a point where I want to spend less time as superintendent and more time as Nana.”

Since becoming superintendent in 2006, Atkins has spearheaded the creation of a division-wide preschool program, championed social-emotional learning, and redesigned gifted education, earning an array of national awards for her work.

Under her leadership, graduation rates for Black students have increased by 25 points. Meanwhile, suspension rates have significantly dropped.

Atkins has also served on multiple organizations, including Governor Northam’s Commission on African American History Education, which worked to improve the state’s Black history curriculum.

“We thank Dr. Atkins for her calming presence, her bold work to promote equity, and above all, for her commitment to children,” said school board chair Lisa Larson-Torres in a press release.

The school board will meet this week to discuss the search for a new superintendent.

Governor Ralph Northam came to town last week, stopping by Venable Elementary on Thursday to check in on city schools’ gradual reopening of classrooms. In February, Northam directed all schools in Virginia to make some in-person learning available to students by mid-March, after the CDC released information about managing virus transmission in schools. At Venable, Northam read aloud to a second-grade class from We’re Going to be O.K., a children’s book about surviving the pandemic, written by Dr. Ebony Jade Hilton and Dr. Leigh-Ann Webb of UVA hospital.

Jaunt, the area public transport system, is accusing their former CEO of budget shenanigans. This week the organization put out a statement saying that auditors found “the CEO purchased numerous expenses for goods, services, and travel, which violated internal control policies of the corporation.”

Former Jaunt boss Brad Sheffield, who resigned in December, maintains his innocence, though Jaunt says Sheffield was pushed out as the company was “no longer comfortable with [his] business judgment.” Not a lot to be jaunty about over there right now.

A year of madness The (still) defending national champs return to the tourney—COVID tests pending

BY THE NUMBERS 162 Blocks by Jay Huff in his career at UVA Huff notched the second-most blocks by a player in program history—Ralph Sampson had 462.

81.7 UVA’s team free-throw percentage this season That’s just a hair short of the all-time single-season record—Harvard’s 1984 squad hit 82.2 percent from the stripe.

MATT RILEY / UVA ATHLETICS

ven in a sport known for madness, the 2020-21 men’s college basketball season was nuts. The pandemic brought the cancellation of thousands of games, including the entire Ivy League season, and posed unprecedented challenges for teams that did play. Powerhouses like Duke and Kentucky plummeted to historic lows, yielding the first NCAA tournament without either team since Gerald Ford was president.

Here in Charlottesville, the UVA’s women’s team abandoned its season midstream.

The men’s team paused its season three times due to positive COVID tests, including last weekend when a confirmed case forced the Hoos to forfeit their ACC tournament semifinal against Georgia Tech.

None of that, however, covers the most unthinkable part of this Cavaliers’ season: The team’s offense carried it to success.

Pandemic or not, the program that Coach Tony Bennett built on defense finished with its worst defensive efficiency rating since his second season (2010-11).

COVID-19 surely didn’t help. While Bennett’s signature pack-line defense can take years to grasp, a UVA team that relied heavily on three newcomers had to learn it on the fly, all while a pandemic disrupted preparation and the team’s schedule.

And yet, as the defense struggled, Virginia’s offense thrived. While the team’s defensive efficiency ranking fell from No. 1 in the country last season to No. 33 this season, its offense jumped from No. 256 to No. 12, becoming Bennett’s first team to have four players average at least 9.5 points per game.

A trio of sharp-shooting big men led the way, with 6' 8" transfer Sam Hauser (16.0 points per game) earning all-ACC honors, 7' 1"

42.8 Sam Hauser’s season three-point percentage Senior Jay Huff will be key to the Cavaliers’ success in the NCAA tournament.

senior Jay Huff (13.1 ppg) making secondteam all-ACC, and 6' 9" transfer Trey Murphy (11.3 ppg) finishing third on the team in scoring. The glue was third-year point guard Kihei Clark (9.5 ppg). Entering the season, Clark had started 50 games for Virginia.

UVA’s other four starters entered the year with zero UVA starts combined.

Put it all together, and through some ups and downs, the Hoos (18-6) won their fifth regular season ACC title in eight years, ending the season ranked 15th in the country.

And then COVID-19 struck again. Hours after a thrilling win over Syracuse in the quarterfinals of the ACC tournament last Thursday, a player tested positive for the virus, forcing the Cavs to withdraw from the tournament and begin quarantining.

At press time, UVA plans on competing in the NCAA tournament (though if we’ve learned anything this year, it’s to expect the unexpected). Assuming the team can clear COVID-19 protocols before the tournament begins this weekend, the question is how far can it go. After sitting through three double-digit losses this season, fans still have a nagging sense that, despite the team’s success, it has still not quite put it all together. Nevertheless, the numbers suggest that the sky is the limit for this team: Though there is no precedent for the pandemic, there is one for a UVA team whose offense is ranked higher than its defense.

That has happened once in Bennett’s tenure, in 2019, when the Hoos became national champions.—Simon Davidson

UVA’s sharpshooter posted the best mark in the ACC.

5 ACC regular season titles for Tony Bennett This year’s conference title was the Hoos’ fifth in the last eight years.

—Ben Hitchcock

Tournament tests The Cavaliers are the fourth seed in the Western region of the NCAA tournament bracket. The scouting report below looks at what may be ahead for the Hoos.

No. 13: Ohio Bobcats UVA will open its tournament run against the 13-seeded Ohio Bobcats. High off their first Mid-Atlantic Conference title in nine years, the Bobcats will roll into the NCAA first round on the back of conference tournament MVP Jason Preston. The NBA-hopeful point guard recorded his 1,000th career point as one of 22 he contributed during the MAC championship game.

But Preston’s shooting isn’t what should worry the Cavaliers most about this matchup. He

ranked sixth-best in the NCAA with 7.2 assists per game through 2020-21, so his playmaking may be the biggest threat to UVA’s hopes of advancing to the second round.

The Bobcats finished red-hot.

They won six of their last seven regular-season games before surging through the MAC tournament, while the Hoos will be cooling their heels in Charlottesville for over a week before they play again. The Bobcats have become a trendy first-round upset pick for national pundits; the Cavs shouldn’t take the mid-major squad for granted.

No. 5: Creighton Should the Cavaliers get past Ohio, they could face Creighton in the round of 32. The Bluejays

enter the NCAA tournament still reeling from a stunning loss in the Big East championship.

Underdog Georgetown dominated from tip-off to final buzzer, at one point going on a 46-8 run as they crushed Creighton to claim the title.

But the Bluejays are more than they may have appeared in a disappointing final. One of the most balanced teams in the Big East, all five Creighton starters averaged double-digit scoring this year. Guard Marcus Zegarowski is a consistent leader, but forward Denzel Mahoney, forward Damien Jefferson, forward Christian Bishop, and guard Mitch Ballock are all threats as well. Both Bishop and Jefferson averaged more than five rebounds per game in 2020-21, while Ballock

led the conference with 72 field goals. The Bluejays’ balanced offense put up 77 points per game in 2020-21, nine more than the Cavs’ average of 68.6.

Would UVA be able to keep Creighton at bay should the two teams meet? It depends on the Hoos’ success in keeping the Bluejays shooters from heating up.

No. 12: UC-Santa Barbara UC-Santa Barbara burst into its first NCAA tournament since 2011 by winning 15 of its 16 final regular-season games on the way to a Big West title. The run feels like an inevitable step forward for a program that made the biggest single-season improvement in NCAA history back when head coach Joe Pasternak brought the 2017-18

Gauchos from six to 23 wins during his first year with the team. The Gauchos are legitimate contenders to upset Creighton, which could set up a second-round matchup with UVA. Led by one of the NCAA’s best rebounders in JaQuori McLaughlin, UC-Santa Barbara ranked second in the Big West with an average of 76.5 points per game, even as it held opponents to just 62.8 points. The 13-point scoring margin ranks 11th-best in the NCAA and makes the team a definite obstacle to the Cavaliers’ championship hopes.

The Cavs’ methodical offense would have to be at the top of their game in this matchup—Devearl Ramsey, the Big West’s leading stealer, lurks, ready to gum up the works.—Julia Stumbaugh

t’s been over a year since 74-year-old Richard Allan hurled Charlottesville’s former slave auction marker into the James River, frustrated with Charlottesville for not creating a better tribute to the thousands of enslaved people bought and sold in Court Square. Ever since, the city has been working to replace the marker. The Historic Resources Committee maintains that installing a more permanent memorial requires collecting input from descendants of enslaved laborers.

That outreach process was just beginning last spring when COVID hit, disrupting R the committee’s plans.

During a March 12 virtual meeting, the committee largely discussed who should spearhead the public engagement process, which is more complex than one might think.

“It’s actually kind of a complicated thing to get appropriate public comment.

I’m CS_SALE-ADS.indd just wondering if we even have the kind of expertise to do that?” asked member Dede Smith. “I’m just a little concerned about doing it right, and then not putting undue burden on our two staff members.”

“We shouldn’t actually be the people doing this. We should only be setting up that structure,” echoed the committee’s vice co-chair Phil Varner. “City staff or anyone who is retained by city staff for doing this sort of public engagement should be the ones doing it.”

Jeff Werner, historic preservation and design planner, explained that city staff were not well equipped to facilitate this type of outreach, and proposed the committee instead find a facilitator with connections to descendant communities.

Member Genevieve Keller suggested the committee also tap the group of descendants they met with last March for guidance in selecting a facilitator.

During last year’s meetings, “they didn’t want just another plaque put up,” said member Jalane Schmidt. “Because they thought that then the city, us, would just lose momentum on the project, and it would remain a small plaque, as it had for years.”

Schmidt emphasized the The city removed this handmade, temporary memorial that importance of the city cover- took the place of the slave auction marker that was stolen ing all of the community enlast year.

March 17 – 23, 2021 c-ville.com

gagement costs, and compensating the facilitator fairly.

“This was already a commitment made by the city. If COVID hadn’t come along that was the plan. And there’s already a budget there for it,” she said. “Also, if we’re engaged in that process, that allows us to go to other funders [and] apply for other grants.”

The slow-moving process has spurred some community members to create their own commemorations at the site. Allan, the white man who initially stole the plaque, has organized a group of residents—including descendants—for the cause, calling ON SALE NOW MARCH on the city to take action in the short term.

In recent weeks, the group has held a press R E T A I L E R E X T E N D E D R E TA I L E R E conference T A I and L E R at the spot where a vigil I N F O R M AT I O N E X T E N D E D R E TA I L E R the plaque used to sit. They’ve also installed I NaFmore O R M AT I O N a temporary memorial, featuring thorough description of the history of Court Square than was on the original plaque. That temporary memorial was later removed by the city, says Allan.

3 The committee decided to begin virtual forums around May, giving the facilitator ample time to reach out to descendant groups.

“I hope when we start to meet in person we won’t do away with the virtual component, particularly with something like this with the descendants of the enslaved, because they could live all over the world now, and maybe want to have an opportunity to participate,” said Keller at the meeting.

The committee will continue to move forward with the outreach process at their 218 West Market Street, Charlottesville, next meeting in April.

funding options available for small-scale infrastructure projects.

“There’s always some type of safety grant,” said Wade. “And now with UVA’s new positioning on being more friendly to the neighborhoods, I would go to UVA [and] say, ‘Hey! This is a $20,000 project—is this something that you can do?’”

Washington suggested such projects could be funded by the $500,000 already included in the city’s operating budget for sidewalks.

The Capital Improvement Program also currently sets aside $50 million for school reconfiguration, a low estimate for the project’s current price tag. All four candidates recommended the city consider additional funding options for the massive project.

“We need to think about community partners, a foundation, ways of raising money,” said Pinkston. “That might be the sort of thing where we issue a bond referendum.”

The candidates were divided when it came to raising taxes. The current proposed city budget for fiscal year 2022 includes an increase in the property tax rate. Washington supports the move, hoping the money will be used to help better fund public works projects. Wade and Pinkston, meanwhile, said they would be very hesitant to raise taxes.

Brown expressed concern about rising property assessments—a consequence of gentrification.

“I think homes should be taxed at an individual rate for what they were purchased for, or what their value was at that point in time, and not for the entire scope of every home in that area,” said Brown. “We need to come up with some way where we’re not putting people in a bind, where they are having to give up their properties because of what’s built around them.”

The Democratic primary will be held on June 8.

“I think just bringing two people off of [council] is going to change the chemistry and dynamic of the entire board, and give us an opportunity to start from scratch.” CARL BROWN, CITY COUNCIL CANDIDATE

ity Councilor Heather Hill and Mayor Nikuyah Walker’s terms expire at the end of the year, and four candidates have thus far declared their intention to win those seats. Earlier this month, social entrepreneur Carl Brown announced his bid for City Council, joining Charlottesville School Board member Jaundiego Wade, UVA project manager Brian Pinkston, and entrepreneur Yas Washington in the race.

Walker is running for reelection, and Hill has not made an announcement either way. The candidates will compete for two Democratic nominations this summer, and the two winners will run with Walker, an independent, for the open council seats in the fall.

On Wednesday evening, the Fry’s Spring Neighborhood Association hosted a virtual forum for the four new candidates. The panel was the first event at which the whole group appeared together in the same place, and the candidates shared how they plan to address a range of pressing issues, from the affordable housing crisis to dysfunction inside City Hall.

During his opening remarks, Brown, who was born and raised in Charlottesville, emphasized his deep roots in the community and leadership within local organizations, allowing him to have a “good understanding” of the city’s needs.

Pinkston, who unsuccessfully ran for council in 2019, highlighted the collaborative skills he’s gained from his 17 years in project management, while Wade pointed to his 16 years serving on the school board, and his 20 years working as a transportation planner for Albemarle County.

EZE AMOS

In a year of isolation, co-housers envision a more connected future

ALL TOGETHER NOW

By Sydney Halleman

March 17 – 23, 2021 c-ville.com

I

magine, for a moment, that the forced sense of isolation, loneliness, and stircraziness of the past year didn’t happen.

That, although you may still have to wear a mask to the grocery store, be careful around the elderly, and work from home, you could pop outside and share lunch with others. A playdate for the kids, in this idyllic world, is only a few feet away. Your friends are only one or two homes from you and, with a text, they could join you outside for a chat in five minutes. No need for perpetual Zoom hangouts and Thanksgiving alone in front of the TV. The secret has been under our noses this whole time: co-housing. And at Emerson Commons, that’s exactly what the past year has looked like.

Emerson Commons, composed of 26 colorful, solar-paneled homes on a grassy plot in Crozet, is one of a handful of intentional living communities in the Charlottesville area.

Residents of such communities share decisionmaking duties, common spaces, and meals.

Although many people still refer to them as communes, most modern co-housing communities don’t reflect the free-loving, basketweaving hippie stereotypes that defined the commune movement during the 1970s.

“A lot of times people hear co-housing and think ‘commune,’” says James Gammon, a resident of Emerson Commons. “I like to tell people that it’s legally a condo association.”

As the COVID-19 pandemic has driven people around the world indoors—increasing isolation and preventing family and friends from gathering together—interest in intentional living communities has increased. Weary of social distancing, it seems,

many are longing for a deeper sense of connection with their neighbors.

Reflecting on the pandemic, Gammon tries to empathize with those, this author included, who are suffering from varying levels of cabin fever. “I’m trying to imagine what that would be like, if we lived in our old house,” he says. “I think it would have been a crazy lonely year.”

Common purpose Co-housing has existed in the United States since at least the 1700s—think of the Christian Shakers, famous for their pacifism, celibacy, and artisanal furniture. Modern co-housing began in the 1940s with the establishment of the Inter-Community Exchange in Ohio, and co-housing and communes gained popularity, and sometimes notoriety, in the counterculture heyday of the 1960s—the modern organizations inherited the Shakers’ anti-war zeal, but passed on the celibacy part. Locally, Twin Oaks in Louisa County was established in 1967 and still follows the almost tribal shared labor model of those early days. (Twin Oaks declined to participate in this story, citing concerns surrounding coronavirus.)

But intentional living communities saw another, different sort of boom in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis. According to the Foundation for Intentional Community, listings in the group’s directory doubled between 2010 and 2016. Some of Charlottesville’s more recent intentional communities were founded in that time, including Emerson Commons. Emerson Commons residents aren’t living in '60s-style yurts or bead-spangled tents—families at Emerson

rent or buy a house, sometimes for as much as $400,000, when they join.

Gammon joined Emerson in 2015 and moved into the community in 2019. Gammon and his wife, Rebecca, were drawn to the idea after experiencing a sense of alienation and a lack of community following the birth of their son.

“We were the first couple in our group of friends to have a kid,” Gammon says. “Oh gosh, that was an isolating year. You don’t go out or do things that your friends do anymore.”

Gammon’s wife stumbled across cohousing through a Facebook moms’ group.

The young couple decided “that day,” they say, to visit Shadowlake Village, another cohousing community near Blacksburg. They were hooked.

“All the kids were having a Fourth of July parade for the adults and then our son crawled for the first time,” he says. “It seemed like a good omen or something. …It just instantly sounded like, ‘Why didn’t I know this was a thing for my whole life?’”

Five years later, they’re surrounded by friends and support, while many others

“In traditional communities, you’re isolated. You may or may not know your neighbors. We have to build community or else we’re just sitting in our houses.”

DAVE REDDING, ECOVILLAGE

have experienced a year of unprecedented isolation.

Emerson Commons residents have stayed closer than most of us. Children have playdates outside, and regular online game sessions occur—Among Us is a favorite. A few people have recently started a weekly Dungeons & Dragons campaign. When one community member contracted COVID-19, neighbors pitched in to bring chicken soup and walk the neighbor’s dog. They’ve had to adapt to social distancing inside their community, especially because some work in health care, but Emerson has been an almost alternate pandemic world where complete isolation from friends and family isn’t necessary. And others are taking notice. The community has seen an uptick in inquiries from potential new members during the pandemic.

“It’s so easy to take for granted, once you live here,” Gammon says. “It’s hard to talk about the things that aren’t problems anymore.”

Communing with nature Dave Redding, one of the founders of EcoVillage, was struck for the first time by the intentional-living philosophy while he and his wife were Peace Corps volunteers in Korea. Like Gammon, conventional housing didn’t appeal to Redding. Social interaction in your average neighborhood, he says, mostly involves watching people from your window.

“In traditional communities, you’re isolated.

You may or may not know your neighbors,” Redding says. “We have to build community or else we’re just sitting in our houses.”

far between during COVID-19. Final approval for building plans have been pushed back, and a set date has yet to be determined.

“I’m definitely looking forward to the end of COVID,” Redding says. Like Gammon, he expects interest in co-housing to increase even more after the pandemic subsides.

“We’re all feeling the strong effects of [the pandemic],” Redding says. “This is not the way that it was meant to be.”

When we asked Araminta Village’s J. Elliott Cisneros if we could use this photo, he said, “Groovy!”

Models of ownership, the steep cost to enter into modern co-housing arrangements, formations for conflict resolution and consensus, and even language in these communities are founded and based on values that often disregard people of color.

Farmer has consulted with intentional communities on how to welcome people of color, but says that those institutions are often unwilling to change the structure of their values. She says Twin Oaks, for example, attempted to create a cap on the number of white people that could be community members.

“I thought that was a bad idea, because they were only looking at admission and not at the deeper structure,” Farmer says.

“When I talk to communities I often say, ‘If you started majority white you probably will stay that way.’”

The FIC’s BIPOC counsel works to form inclusive communities for people of color.

Araminta has events like the weekly Community Circles that ask individuals to examine their underlying attitudes about difference and society.

Nevertheless, Farmer, like the folks at Emerson Commons and EcoVillage, is hopeful about the future of intentional communities. The FIC has definitely seen an increase in interest, she says, and they’ve started online events for those curious about intentional living.

“It totally makes sense to me, why people would be drawn to this,” Cisneros says.

Araminta Village has a long road ahead and needs things like development planning, which has stalled during the pandemic.

But Cisneros keeps asking questions, keeps imagining. “It all goes back to that question,” he says: “‘What is community?’”

@cville_weekly

Though all of these co-housers are building on their visions of a brighter future, J. Elliott Cisneros’ vision might be the most ambitious. Since 2018, he’s been working to get Araminta Village up and running.

Araminta was Harriet Tubman’s given first name, which she changed as an adult for reasons that remain uncertain. Cisneros chose it to reflect his dream—a multi­

racial, queer-friendly, multifaith community in Charlottesville.

Cisneros and his two daughters briefly lived in an intentional living community in Colorado, but he was disconcerted by the lack of racial diversity—like many communes, the neighborhood was overwhelmingly white. While he was living there, Cisneros says, one Black family arrived and left after only a month.

Cisneros moved to Charlottesville in a camper van after the Unite the Right rally in 2017. Since 2006, he’s run a nonprofit called The Sum, which offers to “assess one’s unconscious orientation to power and race, religion, dis/ability, sexual orientation, gender, socioeconomic class, and ethnicity” through a written test and one-hour phone call, for $150. The Sum then offers a 45-hour Power of Difference Certification program to schools and businesses that might be concerned about their results. Cisneros has set up a Sum Study Center downtown, and also started planning Araminta Village.

The problem with attracting people of color to co-housing, says Crystal Byrd Farmer, a board member of The Sum and a member of the BIPOC council for the Foundation for Intentional Community, stems from co-housing’s beginning. Founded in the U.S. primarily by white people, co-housing has been exclusionary since its beginning.

And it’s a hard problem to solve for alreadyestablished intentional communities. Farmer recognizes that people of color often try these communities and then leave.

“Some communities think, “Why don’t people of color come? We’re so nice!” Farmer says. “But it’s so much deeper than that.”

March 17 – 23, 2021 c-ville.com

Redding, a former electrician, contractor, and world traveler, founded EcoVillage, an intentional community, in 2013—but the neighborhood as fully envisioned doesn’t exist yet. The current building plan has room for up to 38 houses and a common house on six-and-a-half acres in Albemarle County.

One of EcoVillage’s core aims is to lessen its environmental impact. Redding is working with UVA to design houses that produce net-zero waste and energy use. The property is designed to accommodate an ample amount of garden space, electric car charging, solar power, and sustainable stormwater management. Residents will share a small fleet of vehicles, but mostly get around on bicycles and an ELF, a headturning hybrid of a tricycle and a car complete with solar panels, a covered cab, and a rechargeable battery (if you’re lucky, you might see Redding riding an ELF around town). And, although the community isn’t complete yet, residents have already been advocating for sustainability issues in the greater Charlottesville area. In October, EcoVillage co-created a petition advocating for more decisive language in the city’s Climate Action Plan.

Seven people, including Redding, currently live in EcoVillage, in the two houses on the property. But, even with a small number of people, he can feel the benefits of the co-housing community during the otherwise isolating experience of the pandemic.

Members do Tai Chi classes and regularly eat lunch and dinner together outside.

Not everything is sunshine and roses, however. Financial donors, something Eco­Village needs to become a reality, have been few and

Though the Metropolitan Opera house remains dark, the talent from its stages is still beaming around the world. Met Stars Live in Concert features two performances from last summer: Renée Fleming from the Dumbarton Oaks estate in Washington, D.C., and Jonas Kaufman from Polling Abbey in Munich, Germany. Fleming, one of opera’s most beloved divas, flexes her broad repertoire, while tenor Kaufman belts out 12 show-stopping arias from a historic venue. Attendees can pre-order sandwiches and cookies from Petite Marie Bette. $11-15, 1pm. The Paramount Theater, 215 E. Main St., Downtown Mall. theparamount.net

Mike Nichols’ beginnings as an improv comedian in 1950s Chicago informed his long career as a film and theater director. He shepherded numerous Neil Simon plays to Broadway success, and drew brilliant performances from Robert Redford, Elizabeth Taylor, Dustin Hoffman, Meryl Streep, and Tim Curry, among many others. In 1967 alone, he had four hit plays running simultaneously, while racking up 20 Academy Award nominations for Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? and The Graduate. Mark Harris will discuss his new biography, Mike Nichols: A Life, during the Virginia Film Festival’s next installment of Beyond the Screen, in partnership with the Virginia Festival of the Book.

hen writer and photographer Kori Price agreed to be part of the curation committee for a Black artists’ exhibition at McGuffey Art Center, water was not on her mind. It didn’t come up until someone asked how they wanted viewers to move through the gallery.

Price recalls discussing ways to make viewers feel like they were underwater: “How did we want them to feel? Should they follow a specific route through the space? How should they flow through?”

Those questions evoked sobering scenes for Price. Water signified the Middle Passage, the expanse of ocean that was used for trans-Atlantic slave trade, into which an unknown number of Africans jumped rather than endure bondage.

But water is also present in moments of joy and release, strength and protest. Price says the committee, which also includes Derrick Waller, Sahara Clemons, Dena Jennings, Jae Johnson, Tobiah Mundt, and Lillie Williams, soon realized it was the perfect metaphor for framing such a broad topic, and agreed on “Water: The Agony and Ecstasy of the Black Experience” for the show’s title.

The group intentionally kept the requirements for the participating artists simple, asking only for interpretations on the theme. The results are wide-ranging and surprising. The show features painting, photography, and film, plus banjos carved from dipping gourds. In the films of Ellis Finney, water symbolizes the flow

Bolanle Adeboye’s “Rain Dancer” is part of “Water: The Agony and Ecstasy of the Black Experience,” which features work by 25 Black artists from across Virginia.

ual piece flowed together as a cohesive unit in the show.”

Waller, a photographer, says that initially, he had no idea where to begin in creating his art for the show. The challenge encouraged him to step out of his comfort zone and pick up a paint brush. The discussions involving the trans-Atlantic slave trade had imprinted one quote in particular on his mind. In Black Panther, Michael B. Jordan’s character Killmonger says, “Nah... Just bury me in the ocean…with my ancestors that jumped from the ship…cuz they knew death was better than bondage.” Waller’s resulting work, “Death Was Better Than Bondage,” is a haunting tribute to those who jumped. Black pins are scattered across a background as blue as the sea, marking the lives lost to the waves.

When Price discovered that the first slave ship to the mainland colonies, the White Lion, landed in present-day Hampton, Virginia, she grabbed her camera and drove down to visit. The experience was moving, and resurfaced questions about her own past. “Like many Black Americans, there’s likely not a record of who my enslaved ancestors were or when they gained their freedom,” Price says.

“Though I don’t know them by name, I think about them...and wonder who the more than 20 Africans were that walked off the White Lion and became our legacy.” Price’s “Shadow of 20. and Odd Negroes” shows ethereal shadows cast upon a deserted beach, stretching almost to the ocean beyond.

As submissions came in, the McGuffey committee noticed that many of the participating artists were showing work for the first time. Waller says that in talking with the artists it became clear that opportunities for Black artists to show their work were limited. For Waller, this affirmed a troubling trend. In his experience, it’s been “very rare to attend an art show that is totally focused on celebrating the talents of Black artists.”

During the curation process, the committee members began to discuss the role they could play in helping Black artists get connected with opportunities to show their work, and eventually decided to present the show as the product of a new organization: the Charlottesville Black Arts Collective. Waller says that “helping Black artists gain exposure will be at the core” of CBAC’s mission.

“Water” shows just how valuable that exposure is. By featuring a variety of Black voices, the exhibit captures the nuances and multiplicities of the Black experience, something missing from white-domintated art spaces.

“I think that people can make a mistake in interpreting the Black experience as a singular and stereotyped experience,” says Price. She hopes viewers can “leave with a better understanding of our complexities.”

For Waller, “Water” touches on something fundamental. “I think the show will make people feel,” he says, “whatever that emotion may be…joy, sadness, anger, peace. I want people to feel. And then I hope these feelings spark good conversation and dialogue.”

Water signified the Middle Passage, the expanse of ocean that was used for trans-Atlantic slave trade, into which an unknown number of Africans jumped rather than endure bondage.

eer drinkers are weaning themselves off of so many unfortunate St. Patrick’s Day traditions. Green beer? Gone. Drinking enough to shame their Irish forebears by the end of the night? Well, mostly gone.

The next step? Reaching for a locally made, artisanal stout or porter, rather than that well-known macro sludge. No, we’re not talking 12 percent ABV pastry stouts crammed with everything from the supermarket candy aisle. And we’re not talking 14 percent barrel-aged behemoths. We’re talking mostly dry, non-adjuncted, reasonably low-alcohol beer you can crush without much concern. “[Dry stout] is a simple beer—one of the simplest,” said Kevin McElroy, co-founder and head brewer at Random Row Brewing Co. “I think for me, it is that kind of roasty flavor that comes along with it. Personally, I am a low ABV beer drinker. [Dry stouts] have so much flavor, but they don’t have that heavy alcohol content. It’s the combination of drinkbalility and taste.”

Here’s a look at seven local stouts and porters to replace your Guinness this St. Paddy’s Day.

Rockfish Brewing Company Baltic Porter, 7.2% ABV

So what the heck is a Baltic porter? It’s a lager, meaning it’s fermented differently from other porters, which are ales. According to the Beer Judge Certification Program, it’s a style categorized with other porters primarily due to its malt character. BJCP, the gold standard for beer style definitions, says Baltic porters might have hints of “caramel, toffee, nutty to deep toast, and/or licorice notes...Some darker malt character that is deep chocolate, coffee or molasses but never burnt.” Baltic porters also feature higher alcohol contents than other porters, but they fall short of imperial or barrel-aged stouts, making them a fair sub for dry stouts.

Random Row Brewing Co. Sublimation Stout, 4.9% ABV

Random Row’s Sublimation is likely the one true dry Irish stout you’ll find on C’ville taps this March. McElroy says it’s made with but a few humble ingredients: British pale malt, roasted barley, flaked barley, East Kent Golding hops, and British ale yeast. The brew’s been as low as 4.5 percent ABV in some batches and featured other Euro-staple hops like Perle, but it always has a roasty, unsweetened flavor profile typical of the dry Irish.

Reason Beer

Locally brewed stouts and porters offer an Irish goodbye to traditional pints.

Strange Currencies, 5.7% ABV

Blacklight Tapestry, 5% ABV

Champion Brewing Company has made a number of stouts over the years that put a pint of Gat to shame. So, while this year fans’ll have to settle for a robust porter, they know they’re in capable hands. Black Light Tapestry brings chocolate, coffee, and chic-

ory flavors to a creamy body, as well as a subtle hop tinge at 25 IBUs. Dark beer lovers have praised the brew, which has been on tap at Champion since February 5, for its dark-roast, nearly burnt aesthetic.

Seven Arrows Sundog Milkstout, 5.5% ABV

Not all the great local Guinness substitutes are purely dry. Seven Arrows’s Sundog Milkstout features the addition of non-fermentable lactose sugar, making the resulting

brew slightly sweet. The lactose also gives the beer its creamy mouthfeel, which the brewers say manifests in a “tight, thick head like whipped cream.” But Sundog’s flavors are in line with our other macro-alternatives—they brim with chocolate and coffee, along with a slight hoppiness and roast bitterness.

Decipher Brewing Scytale Stout, 5.7% ABV

Decipher Brewing’s Scytale Stout is a unique alternative to the St. Paddy’s Day fare on our

Devils Backbone Brewing Company offers a sturdy Baltic porter in Danzig, a beer that’s won numerous awards at the Great American Beer Festival and World Beer Cup. “Baltic porters bring aspects of strong lagers and English porters together,” says Jason Oliver, Devils Backbone’s head brewer. “We have always brewed it to be a true-to-style Baltic porter.”

At nearly twice the alcohol of a Guiness, revelers will want to take their time savoring Danzig’s flavor profile, which delivers the coffee and chocolate notes typical of a porter.

“It’s kind of a hybrid,” Oliver says. “Beer styles are a bit of an invention to classify things.

They serve a purpose, but they can’t cover all the bases.”

Blurring the lines between styles, Reason’s Strange Currencies porter offers the roasted coffee, chocolate, and caramel flavors stout lovers crave. But it also brings a hoppy edge you don’t find in traditional Irish stouts. Legend has it Reason’s head brewer, Mark Fulton, originally brewed Strange Currencies in honor of his wife and named it after the REM song that soundtracked their first wedding night dance. These beers, you will be mine.

For one example of the style, pull up to a pint of Rockfish Brewing Company’s Baltic Porter. The brewery’s take is mostly dry, pops with roasted coffee and chocolate, and comes in at a reasonable 7.2 percent ABV.

CULTURE FREE WILL ASTROLOGY

Aries (March 21-April 19): Poet Ocean Vuong speaks of the Hawaiian word kipuka. It refers to a patch of earth that doesn’t get covered with lava when an active volcano exudes its molten material. “Before the lava descended,” Vuong writes, “that piece of land was insignificant, just another scrap in an endless mass of green.” But now that piece of land is special, having endured. I encourage you to identify your metaphorical equivalent of kipuka, Aries. It’s an excellent time to celebrate the power and luck and resilience that have enabled you to persevere.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): “Extraordinary things are always hiding in places people never think to look,” writes Taurus author Jodi Picoult.

Luckily for you, Taurus, in the near future you’ll be prone to look in exactly those places—where no one else has thought to look. That means you’ll be extra likely to find useful, interesting, even extraordinary things that have mostly been hidden and unused.

You may also discover some boring and worthless things, but the trade-off will be worth your effort. Congratulations in advance on summoning such brave curiosity.

Gemini (May 21-June 20): “When we ask for advice, we are usually looking for an accomplice,” said Gemini author Saul Bellow. So if you have come here today to read my horoscopes, it’s possible that you’re seeking an accomplice to approve of you making a decision or a move that you have already decided to do. Okay. I’ll be your accomplice. But as your accomplice, the first thing I’ll do is try to influence you to make sure your upcoming actions serve not only your own selfish interests (although there’s nothing wrong with that), but also serve the interests of people you care for. The weeks ahead will be a favorable time to blend self-interest and noble idealism.

Cancer

All about town.

' M Y P E R F E CT C'V IL L E DAY' | O N - THE -S TRE ET S T Y LE | SP R I N G HAP P ENI N GS

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): No one had ever proven that there was such a thing as electromagnetic waves until Piscean physicist Heinrich Hertz did so in 1886. He was the innovator who first transmitted and received controlled radio waves. Alas, he didn’t think his breakthrough was useful. In 1890, he confessed, “I do not think that the wireless waves I have discovered will have any practical application.” But other scientists were soon capitalizing on his work to communicate long distances. Radio broadcasts were born. I will encourage you not to make a Hertzian-type mistake in the coming months. Always follow through on your initial labors. Have faith that the novelties you dream up will eventually have practical value. messy, chaotic world. In my judgment, now is one of those times when you would benefit from rubbing your soul against life. Please note: I DON’T mean you should go in search of rough, tough downers. Not at all. In fact, there are plenty of pleasurable, safe, educational ways to rub your soul against life.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): If you love the work of self-help author Paulo Coelho, you might be inclined to adopt his motto as your own: “Being vulnerable is the best way to allow my heart to feel true pleasure.” But maybe you wouldn’t want to adopt his motto. After all, what he’s suggesting requires a great deal of courage and daring. Who among us finds it easy and natural to be soft and receptive and inviting? And yet according to my analysis of the astrological omens, this is exactly what your assignment should be for the next two weeks. To help motivate yourself, remember the payoff described by Coelho: the possibility that your heart will feel true pleasure.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Virgo author Michael Ondaatje celebrates “the hidden presence of others in us—even those we have known briefly. We contain them for the rest of our lives, at every border we cross.” As you approach your own upcoming border-crossing, dear Virgo, I encourage you to tune into memories about seven specific people who over the course of your life have provided you with the most joy and the most interesting lessons.

Close your eyes for 20 minutes and imagine they are all gathered together with you in your favorite sanctuary. Remember in detail the blessings they bestowed on you. Give thanks for their influences, for the gifts they gave that have helped you become your beautiful self.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct.22): “A balance that does not tremble cannot weigh. A person who does not oscillate cannot live.” So wrote biochemist Erwin Chargaff, who did crucial research leading to the discovery of DNA’s double helix structure. Since you’re the zodiac’s expert on balance and oscillation, and because these themes will be especially meaningful for you in the coming days, I’ll ask you to meditate on them with extra focus. Here’s my advice: To be healthy and resilient, you need to be aware of other possibilities besides those that seem obvious and simple and absolutely true. You need to consider the likelihood that the most correct answers are almost certainly those that are paradoxical and complicated and full of nuance.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): In her poem “Sandra,” Scorpio poet Ariana Reines testifies that she has too many feelings—and that’s not a problem. On the contrary. They are her wealth, she says, her “invisible splendor.” I invite you to regard your own “too many feelings” in the same way, especially in the coming weeks.

You will have opportunities to harness your flood of feelings in behalf of transformative insights and holistic decision-making. Your motto: Feelings are healing.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Historian and author Thomas Berry described “wildness” as the source of our “authentic spontaneities.” He said it’s “the wellspring of creativity” at the root of our lust for life. That’s a different definition from the idea that wildness is about being unruly, rough, and primitive.

And Berry’s definition happens to be the one

that should be central to your work and play in the coming weeks. Your assignment is to be wild: that is, to cultivate your authentic spontaneities; to home in on and nourish the creative wellspring of your lust for life.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Some of the great discoveries in the history of physics have been made while the trailblazing physicists are lolling in bed or in the bathtub. They have done the research and carried out the rigorous thinking, and are rewarded with breakthroughs while relaxing. I think that will be your best formula for success in the coming weeks. Important discoveries are looming.

Interesting innovations are about to hatch.

You’re most likely to gather them in if you work intensely on preparing the way for them, then go off and do something fun and rejuvenating.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): My typical horoscope is an average of 108 words long. In that limited space, I can’t possibly tell you all the themes and threads that will be active for you during the upcoming phase of your cycle. I have to make choices about what to include and what not to include. This time I’ll focus on the fact that you now have an opportunity to deepen your relationship with your sense of smell— and to purposefully nourish your sense of smell. Your homework: Decide on at least five scents with which you will cultivate an intimate, playful, delightful connection in the coming days. (PS: You may be surprised at how this practice will deepen your emotional connection with the world.)

(June 21-July 22): A character in Barbara Kingsolver’s novel The Lacuna is told to “go rub his soul against life.” Now I’ll advise you to do the same. Why? While it’s true that you have a beautiful soul, you sometimes get in the habit of hiding it away or keeping it secret.

You feed it a wealth of dreams and emotions and longings, but may not go far enough in providing it with raw experience out in the

On January 26, 2021, Appalachian Power Company (“APCo” or “Company”) filed with the State Corporation Commission (“Commission”) an application for approval and certification to construct and operate electric transmission facilities in the City of Lynchburg and Albermarle, Amherst, Appomattox, Campbell, and Nelson Counties, Virginia (“Application”). APCo filed the Application pursuant to § 56 46.1 of the Code of Virginia (“Code”) and the Utility Facilities Act, Code § 56 265.1 et seq.

APCo seeks to: (i) build a new 11.1 mile long 138 kilovolt (“kV”) transmission line from the Company’s Joshua Falls Substation to its Riverville Substation (the “Joshua Falls-Riverville 138 kV transmission line”); (ii) build a new 6.3 mile long 138 kV transmission line from the Company’s Riverville Substation to Central Virginia Electric Cooperative’s Gladstone Substation (the “Riverville-Gladstone 138 kV transmission line”); (iii) build two new 138 kV substations and associated transmission line extensions (the “James River 138 kV Substation” and the “Soapstone 138 kV Substation”); (iv) expand and/or improve the Company’s Riverville, Monroe, Amherst, Boxwood, Scottsville, Clifford and Joshua Falls Substations; (v) rebuild approximately 12.2 miles of the Amherst-Reusens 69 kV transmission line; and (vi) install and/or upgrade other related transmission line, substation, telecommunication, and distribution facilities (collectively, the “Project”).

APCo states that the Project is necessary to maintain the structural integrity and reliability of its transmission system in compliance with mandatory North American Electric Reliability Corporation Reliability Standards. More specifically, the Company states that the Project will accommodate future growth in Amherst, Nelson and Albemarle Counties, mitigate thermal and voltage reliability criteria violations, and replace aging infrastructure that is at the end of its service life.

The Company states that the desired in-service date for the Project is December 1, 2025. The Company represents that the estimated conceptual cost of the Project is approximately $147.7 million, which includes approximately $95.1 million for transmission-related work and $52.6 million for substation-related work.

APCo asserts that the Project will require new right-of-way (“ROW”) easements for the construction of the Joshua Falls-Riverville 138 kV transmission line and the Riverville-Gladstone 138 kV transmission line. The Project will also require some updated and supplemental ROW easements for the rebuild of the Amherst-Reusens 69 kV transmission line. APCo represents that, following extensive outreach, public input and analysis, the Company considered 25 possible substation sites for the two proposed new substations, and developed four alternative routes for the proposed Joshua Falls-Riverville 138 kV transmission line, and two alternative routes for the proposed Riverville-Gladstone 138 kV transmission line.

Description of the Project The Project includes the 11.1 mile Joshua Falls-Riverville 138 kV transmission line; the 6.3 mile Riverville-Gladstone 138 kV transmission line; the 12.2 mile Amherst-Reusens 69 kV Transmission Line rebuild; the new James River 138 kV Substation and 400 feet of new 138 kV double circuit transmission line; and the new Soapstone 138 kV Substation and 600 feet of new 138 kV double circuit transmission line.

The proposed route of the Joshua Falls-Riverville 138 kV transmission line begins at the Company’s Joshua Falls Substation located near Mt. Athos Road in Campbell County, approximately five miles east of the City of Lynchburg, on the south side of the James River. The proposed route exits south from the Joshua Falls Substation for approximately one-third of a mile, turns east, and after approximately 1 mile enters Appomattox County. The route continues in an easterly direction generally paralleling the James River corridor for approximately 2.7 miles, avoiding Chestnut Mountain.

The proposed route turns northeast and continues for approximately 1.5 miles, crossing Dreaming Creek Road and a large commercial timber tract located to the northwest and parallel to Route 611 (Trinity Road). The route turns north for approximately 0.9 mile, turns northeast and continues for approximately 2.2 miles generally to the north and parallel to Route 605 (Beckham Road), and crosses Route 623. The route continues for approximately 1 mile, turns north near

Charlottesville Habitat partnered with Habitat for Humanity International, Lowe’s, and more than 300 Habitat programs in the United States, India, and Canada for International Women Build Week (which was March 8-15) to highlight the global need for safe and affordable housing.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Habitat for Humanity’s top priority is the health and safety of our staff, volunteers, and community members. For this reason, much of the public involvement for 2021 International Women Build Week was hosted virtually on Habitat Charlottesville and Habitat International’s social media accounts.

On Saturday, March 13, Habitat volunteers gathered socially-distanced on site to install siding to the exterior of two new homes Habitat Charlottesville is building on 12th Street. Among this small group were Habitat Homebuyers and future neighbors Tashae Anderson and Jeronda Jackson, who will purchase the single-family attached homes this summer, realizing their dreams of homeownership. This will be the first time that the two neighbors worked on their homes’ job sites together.

Both mothers to two children, 12th Street homebuyers Tashae and Jeronda bonded quickly over the shared excitement their homes bring for their families.

They cannot wait to have their own backyards to freely and safely play outside, paint the walls in their own rooms, and sit on their front porches. Tashae says her girls, ages 11 and 5, ask her to drive by the site a couple of times a week to check on the progress.

Tashae’s determination to provide a stable home for her girls has led her to complete countless hours of financial education and volunteer sweat equity on Habitat’s job sites. She says it has almost been like having a part-time job, but for her girls, she’d do it all again. She’s been dreaming about them running around in a yard getting to play while they’re young. This summer, they will.

ou’re in good company if you are looking for a Central Virginia farm.

Not only is agriculture Virginia’s largest private industry, but our area is also home to the most famous farmer in the world: Joel Salatin, owner of Polyface Farms.

Don’t believe it? Ask Siri.

Salatin and his Augusta County farm have been featured in Michael Pollen’s 2006 bestseller, The Omnivore’s Dilemma, and the films Food, Inc. and Farmageddon.

He gained fame by shunning conventional agricultural practices. And he has been instrumental in changing the face of farming and inspiring others to jump in.

Whether or not they’ve heard of Salatin or Polyface, plenty of city dwellers

dream of moving to the country for more space and more land.

If you are ready to shift from dreamer to doer, three critical steps will help you successfully make the leap. An expert REALTOR® who knows farms, land, and estates can make the difference between a dream come true and a nightmare.

Knowing what you want to accomplish with your expanded acreage will help smooth some bumps.

And, whether you’re a buyer or a seller, understanding how to navigate this market will assure you get the best value on either side of the transaction.

Not Just COVID-19 COVID-19 has increased demand for larger lots, acreage, farms, and estates.

But the pandemic shouldn’t get all the credit.

Long before anyone heard of COVID19, interest in farming was growing. Slow Food, food sovereignty, regenerative agriculture and farm-to-table movements have been years in the making. These have influenced a new generation of gardeners and farmers who appreciate the impact that even small-scale agriculture can have on our ecosystem.

On the heels of those movements, a whole new crop of buyers has emerged.

The pandemic just threw gas on the flames.

John Ince, REALTOR® with Wiley Real Estate, says “There has been a remarkable surge of interest in farms and estate properties since COVID-19 hit. It’s not just the fear factor of folks wanting to be away from crowded situations but also the realization that working from home is a viable option. That’s a huge game changer that is likely to persist long

after COVID is in our rear-view mirror.”

And it moves dreamers into action mode as many are released from having to live close to where they work.

These buyers are being driven by a variety of goals. REALTOR® Steve White, with Roy Wheeler Realty Co., knows every client is different. “Some buyers are interested in the extra land so they can have multiple houses to create family compounds. A few are interested in large scale production. But almost everyone has some farming in mind. A chance to grow their own food, be a little healthier, maybe raise a few chickens. The common thread is finding that rural property that is still close to amenities.”

Expert in Your Corner Whether you’re buying or selling, it is important to have a farm and land expert

40 in your corner. Any agent can sort list-

ings by size, price, and location. That’s not enough if you want to buy land for more than just window dressing or are selling a property with unique agricultural advantages. To expertly navigate your way through transactions involving working acreage or large properties, get a REALTOR® who understands the lay of the land.

Pam Dent, REALTOR® with Gayle Harvey Real Estate, Inc., stresses how important it is to align the features of the land, regulations and incentives, with a buyer’s goals. Making a purchase without bringing all three of these together will result in frustration, buyer’s remorse, and missed opportunities.

First match what’s possible on a certain property with what the buyer wants to do. Factoring in available programs and incentives in support of those goals can make the buying process easier and perhaps more affordable. A REALTOR® with extensive experience in farm and land sales will be in the best position to make that happen.

CAAR REAL ESTATE WEEKLY WWW.CAAR.COM

Buyer’s Goals Do you envision a “gentlewoman’s farm,” or do you plan to generate significant revenue from this farm venture?

Many buyers are not entering the farms and estates market to generate income. Dent sees a mix of clients, “those seeking privacy, and those wanting to work the land. Some people only want the views and space; others want to enhance their self-sufficiency.”

Ince agrees. “For many during this past year, the idea of living out in the country was a new one. As the idea matured in their minds so did the excitement of a new lifestyle with chickens, goats, and a vegetable garden.” Once COVID-related events made relocation possible or more desirable, a whole new group of potential landowners entered the market.

Buying acreage can trigger different opportunities, depending on how it is categorized. Jacob Gilley, with American Farmland Trust, explains why the definition of a farm is usually set at a bare minimum. He says the bar is set low on

“Suddenly, the roles are reversed.

Buyers want as much land as they can afford.

There has been an amazing uptick in sales, interest, and pricing in the last 12-18 months.” purpose. “It allows landowners to take advantage of different tax incentives and sustainability programs to protect farmland and support farmers. Government cash share programs for fencing, cover crops and sustainable practices can help a new farmer get started.”

Gilley co-owns Heaven’s Hollow Farm with his wife Jennifer in Madison County.

If a land-based enterprise generates as little as $1,000 worth of sales per year it

can be classified as a farm in Madison County. By comparison, Polyface Farm in Augusta County generates several million dollars per year.

Marketing directly to consumers and agritourism have multiplied the opportunities for farmers to profit from their land. The Nelson 151 Craft Beverage Trail shows how lucrative winery, brewery, and other beverage tours can be.

Farm-to-table dinners right on the

farm are increasingly popular. Horse farms market group rides. Harvest Hosts, HipCamp and other platforms make it easy for campers to overnight in farmbased locations.

As an event site, Cole’s Greene Acres farms in Greene county hosts everything from weddings to picnics. A Better Way Farm & Goat Dairy in Waynesboro offers tours and a “goat herd share” program for fresh raw milk. Local farmers supply restaurants with microgreens and other produce. These and other creative enterprises can provide non-traditional income for farmers.

You don’t need to be the next Joel Salatin. But knowing where your interests lie and what your priorities are before buying is important. Having that conversation with the right REALTOR® is crucial. With that information in hand, she can help you acquire a property that will support those dreams.

Inventory Driving the Market In 2021 inventory is the name of the game.

White remembers the 2008-2009 real estate crash that sent owners of large properties selling. “They realized they didn’t need all this land and sold as prices plummeted. The farm and estate land market has never really recovered from that crash. Until now.

“Suddenly, the roles are reversed. Buyers want as much land as they can afford.

The market for farms and estates has quickly caught up to the general residential real estate market. It’s becoming more and more of a seller’s market, threatening to leave buyers out in the cold this spring. sales, interest, and pricing in the last 12-18 months.”

The market for farms and estates has quickly caught up to the general residential real estate market. It’s becoming more and more of a seller’s market, threatening to leave buyers out in the cold this spring.

One of White’s clients had his property on the market for more than three months with not much action. “All of sudden I had three showings in the same day and two cash offers.” Dent too has seen parcels sit static for months, then there may be a dozen showings in a week and multiple offers.

Ince sees the same trend. “While the residential inventory has been low for the past 24 months, there was still a reasonable selection of country properties on the market, especially if one was willing to look in our surrounding counties. The first quarter of 2021 has been a different story with multiple offers coming in and some sales well above asking price. We have a perfect storm for a continued seller’s market in the near future, but those who have been in the business long enough know what happens when escalating prices get out of hand.”

This market should encourage anyone who is considering downsizing from their large country properties to make the move now. Ince expects to soon see those stalled property listings come to market. “Buyers can expect some new inventory this spring so we may see some balancing out as 2021 matures.”

While the inventory is buoying prices, Ince says, “Low interest rates continue to be a strong driver which has been incentivizing buyers, making them more willing to pay higher prices.”

The Opportunity is Now Ince advises that this is the ideal time to close the deal. “The most important thing for buyers and sellers to consider right now is that this is opportunity time.

Sellers can expect a robust turnout for a new listing priced in the sweet spot, while buyers can get a loan with monthly payments making that higher price pal-

atable. It’s rare to have such significant advantages for both sides of a transaction so we should have a very active market for the rest of 2021.”

With favorable interest rates, unprecedented direct-to-consumer marketing opportunities, and expanding resources for protecting farmland, this may be the best time to jump into the farm scene.

Be assured the Shenandoah Valley Young Farmers Coalition is cheering you on. French Price is part of the Coalition’s leadership team and works for Virginia Cooperative Extension. “Many of our members farm a few acres or want to start but struggle to find affordable land. Most of us garden. It’s amazing to see the mentoring that happens between farms of varying sizes whenever we can get together.”

Dividing farm property can provide an opportunity. Last year, a Florida investor bought an operating farm near Gilley.

“His plan is to eventually break it up into 40-acre farmettes that give smaller operators a foothold. I also see more non-operating landowners who keep the farm but lease it to someone that will work the land and treat it with respect.”

In a nutshell, COVID-19 unleashed interested buyers. Low mortgage rates help justify the decision to buy. And the direct-to-consumer market is creating new paths to profitability.

White says “For sellers, it’s one of the best markets in the last 15 years. They can finally get their price.”

And for buyers, Dent helps them look at each available parcel with a creative eye.

“Perhaps it doesn’t have everything you want, but does it have the basics and give you a workable entry point?”

If you find something that works, you’ll be hooked. Ince enjoys being part of this movement. “From condo to country is a wonderful transition to be a part of and I have yet to see anyone take a step back once begun.”
