Kentucky Family Turns Down Tech Giant’s $26.5M Offer to Buy Their Farm
The family said the farm had been in their hands for 200 years and rejected the deal over concerns about AI data centers.
- Kentucky residents Ida Huddleston and Delsia Bare rejected a $26.4 million offer for their 534-acre family farm, refusing to sell to developers planning a massive artificial intelligence data center.
- The family has worked the land for 200 years, grounding Bare's decision in faith and legacy. She told the company representative to "Kick rocks and don't come back."
- Developers sought to assemble land for a 2.2-gigawatt hyperscale facility, with Meta reportedly connected to the project. Bare has since joined a lawsuit to block the development.
- Mason County Fiscal Court officials approved rezoning over 2,000 acres in May, citing potential for approximately 400 permanent jobs. The project shifted focus after Bare and Huddleston refused to sell.
- Data centers face increasing scrutiny nationwide, with 56 currently operating in Kentucky. Communities across the U.S. push to slow or halt projects due to concerns over energy and water usage.
