Cool Things. The Power of Words. Hugelkultur Can Create Irrigation-Free Garden Beds. Farm Carolina - Farming, Gardening and Agriculture | Across the Piedmont in North Carolina. By Steve Huffman For the Salisbury Post CREEDMOOR — Paul Newby said when he spoke to the Wake County Garden Club recently on the subject of being a gentleman farmer, he noted the words are something of a contradiction. “You can be a gentleman or be a farmer,” Newby said. “But once you go to farming, you roll up your sleeves and get to work.
It’s not very gentlemanly.” Newby, 56, is a justice on the N.C. He and his wife, Macon, and their four children — who range in age from 16 to 23 — live in north Raleigh. Newby said he bought the Creedmoor farm for reasons based largely on the principles he wished to instill in his children. “I wanted to show them a life away from computers, away from gadgets and electronics,” he said.
The Newbys lived on the farm from 1996 until 2002 when they moved back to Raleigh. Making trips to soccer practice and whatnot took a considerable amount of planning from Creedmoor. Following law school, Paul Newby worked four years in private practice in Kannapolis. Home Page | Institute For Humane Studies.
