I\u2019m testing soil samples, that mineral taste of rich earth on my fingers, when I hear it\u2014click, click, click. Designer heels on hard dirt. This blonde woman marches toward me like she\u2019s serving a warrant. \u201cAre you the new property owner?\u201d she asks, extending a manicured hand. \u201cI\u2019m Brinley Fairmont, president of the Meadowbrook Estates Homeowners Association.\u201d<\/p>\n

President. I look around. One house\u2014hers. Lots of empty space. \u201cHow many homes are in your association?\u201d I ask.
\n\u201cTwelve beautiful properties,\u201d she says with this practiced smile. \u201cMy husband Chadwick and I moved here from California. He works in tech remotely. You know, we\u2019ve really brought some standards to this area.\u201d<\/p>\n

Standards to farmland that\u2019s been here since before she was born. She whips out this thick binder that reeks of fresh printer ink. \u201cThis property has always been part of our homeowners association.\u201d
\n\u201cMa\u2019am, this is agricultural land, been farmland since the sixties,\u201d I say.<\/p>\n

She flips through pages like a prosecutor. \u201cPrevious owner agreed to monthly dues. You\u2019re inheriting those obligations.\u201d\u201cHow much?\u201d
\n\u201cFifteen thousand in back dues plus seven-fifty monthly going forward.\u201dI actually laugh. \u201cYou want HOA fees on empty farmland?\u201d
