Nestled in the heart of Tyro, a historically rural farming community in North Carolina, stands the Coble Dairy Farm—an emblem of our shared heritage and an integral part of our community's fabric. Born from the steadfast dedication of the Hunt family from the neighboring Jersey Settlement, the farm has been a proud symbol of our agrarian roots for generations.  Starting with the Hunt in the 1800s, then with A .A. Smith farming the area, George  Coble and his dairy farm.

For decades, Coble Dairy Farm has not only served as a working farm but also as a living testament to the history of Tyro. Its borders, near what is known as Beacon Light—an Airmail Beacon from the 1920s—echo stories from the past that continue to shape our present. This farm is more than just land; it's a piece of history, woven into the stories of the Revolutionary and Civil wars, battles in which the Hunt family played pivotal roles. These ancestors of ours are even laid to rest on this land, binding them forever to the soil of Coble Dairy Farm.

Now, this cherished piece of heritage is under threat from plans to develop it into a housing project. If allowed to proceed, this development would irrevocably alter the landscape of Tyro, erasing a vital piece of our history and identity. The transformation would not only destroy the natural beauty and historical significance of the farmland, but also undermine the integrity of our community’s roots.

This irreversible damage is happening all across Davidson County.  Not only with the Hunt cemetery but with others in the area.  Would you consider helping to preserve family homesteads?
