Towns take up the ag land, it’s always been that way. Originally the downtown was a little area in the middle of the farms, made sense for it to be a central location. Nucleus of the town grows until it’s pushed out across all the ag land.
I’ve never been to Andy’s Orchard, but I was a teacher at Live Oak High School so I could see it from campus and I drove by twice daily. Very pretty, I was always jealous.
