What Is an Agrihood?

​An agrihood is a thoughtfully planned residential community centered around a working farm, designed to foster a connection between the community, their fresh food, and the land. Unlike traditional subdivisions, which sometimes may be centered around parks, sports courts, golf courses, or nothing at all, an agrihood offers a unique alternative that integrates sustainable agriculture into everyday living. Here, residents can enjoy access to fresh, locally grown produce right from inside of their neighborhood, while also benefiting from other amenities for all ages. For families, an agrihood can provide a safe, walkable environment for children where they can grow up with hands-on exposure to gardening, farming, and outdoor activities. On the other hand, for adults and seniors, an agrihood offers opportunities for active living, wellness, and greater community involvement. Ultimately, an agrihood is more than your typical neighborhood, it’s an ecosystem that supports the physical, emotional, and social well-being of every resident, at every stage of life.
