As an alternative, have you considered separating the groups by white
space. For example:
\starttext
\bTABLE[frame=off, loffset=0.5em]
\bTH
\bTD Parcel \eTD
\bTD Area \eTD
\eTH
\bTR
\bTD[nr=3, align={lohi}]
Parcel 1
\eTD
\bTD 1 acre trees \eTD
\eTR
\bTR
\bTD 2 acre vines \eTD
\eTR
\bTR
\bTD 3 acre open \eTD
\eTR
\bTR[topdistance=\lineheight]
\bTR
\bTD[nr=3, align={lohi}]
Parcel 2
\eTD
\bTD 5 acre trees \eTD
\eTR
\bTR
\bTD 6 acre vines \eTD
\eTR
\bTR
\bTD 4 acre open \eTD
\eTR
\eTABLE
\stoptext
