The paved roads that thread through Earlysville are often edged with a generous shoulder of gravel, a concession to the occasional rumble of a tractor or the slow amble of a horse trailer, and the quietude is punctuated by the chirping chorus of cicadas in the summer months. The memory of agricultural roots runs deep in Earlysville, a place that has long favored the patient cultivation of land and the steady rhythm of the seasons over the frantic pulse of industry.
