You're Closer Than You Think To The Most Beautiful Equestrian Community In The Triangle, Portofino

View Larger Map
Do you work in Research Triangle Park and want to ride horses in the evening or go for a walk on a trail with a canopy of trees that wind their way through the woods and end up at the river?  How about taking the kids to the beach entry pool next to the stunning clubhouse where the residents can enjoy the open fireplace in the shade of massive trees overlooking the pool.
Fifty some  minutes doesn't seem that long when you can escape to Portofino! The Triangle has not seen anything like this. Over 350 acres of woodlands and only 190 home sites, so the natural beauty of the land will be preserved like no other community in the Triangle. How about Forty some minutes to Raleigh Durham International Airport or 27 minutes to Wake Med. Twenty Five minutes to Downtown Raleigh.

Village Farmers Market Store on Hwy 42 in Clayton...Homemade Fudge for Starters!

Village Farmers Market Store on Hwy 42 in Clayton...Homemade Fudge for Starters!

The Market is located at 4684 NC Hwy 42E, Clayton, NC 27520 Phone 919-550-0765 They are open Monday-  Saturday 9-6 and Sunday 10-6

The Village Farmers Market has grown over the years from a humble beginning to a full blown local treasure trove of  preserves, honey, pies, fudge, bacon, eggs, plants, flowers, vegetables, ice cream.

The Market is located at 4684 NC Hwy 42E, Clayton, NC 27520 Phone 919-550-0765

It is just down the road from Downtown Clayton, Archer Lodge at the intersection of Buffalo Rd and Hwy 42.

They make the desserts there and you can call and order your favourite cake or pie.

Outside they have a wide array of plants and shrubs, rose bushes.

Pine straw and wheat straw along with bedding plants and tomato plants for the gardener.

Don't forget fishing worms which I can attest work very well, too well actually as we bought some on Monday and went to the pond at Portofino and while fixing Rory's rod I heard a splash and to my horror my rod was in the pond and as I reached in to grab it it took off like a rocket.

The moral of the story when you buy your worms from The Village Farmers Market don't leave your rod unattended!

Triangle Region Courting Companies that could create 13,000 jobs.

There is a spot of good news heading this way from economic developers from the Triangle region who are courting 58 companies that could create 13,000 jobs.

Charles Hayes, chief, executive officer of the Research Triangle Regional Partnership says "the difference for the Triangle region is that a record number of companies are choosing to invest here to build their future" "We're encouraged by the diversity of companies announcing expansion plans"


The 13 counties making up the partnership include: Chatham, Durham, Franklin, Granville, Harnett, Johnston, Lee, Moore, Orange, Person, Vance, Wake and Warren.


Investments and expansions noted by Hayes in his report included:

• EMC Corp planning a $280 million construction of a new research facility and data center in Durham County, adding nearly 300 jobs, as well as adding 100 new jobs at its manufacturing plant in Wake County.

• IEM, an international risk management and disaster modeling consulting company, moving its global headquarters from Louisiana to RTP in Durham County, creating 430 jobs over the next six years.

• Palziv North America, a developer and manufacturer of thermoplastic cross-linked polyethylene foam for consumer and industrial uses, purchased a plant in Franklin County formerly used for traditional manufacturing. It is investing nearly $8 million to renovate the space for manufacturing operation and new North American headquarters, creating 80 to 100 jobs.

• Talecris Biotherapeutics plans a $269 million expansion of its manufacturing plant in Johnston County, creating more than 250 jobs.

• Carl Zeiss Optronics USA, the Germany-based global provider of optical and optronic products and services for defense and security uses. Is establishing a U.S. headquarters in Wake County.

• Deutsche Bank Global Technology, Wake County, $6.7 million new investment, 319 jobs.

• North American Aerodynamics Inc., Person County, $900,000 expansion, 375 jobs.

Hayes pointed out that a big portion of the $1.9 billion figure is a $700 million plan by Duke’s medical system for a massive expansion.

Hayes also noted that 2010 is off to a strong start with several announcements made for expansion or new business. Some $93 million in projects that will create approximately 1,000 jobs have been disclosed.
