The Agrihood development concept is a new twist on an old idea for people wanting to get back to their roots and produce farm to table food. These communities appeal to a those who want modern homes with a close connection to the food they consume. In order to meet the demand, a growing number of residential developers are building master-planned communities designed around an agricultural theme. Agrihoods combine traditional single family or multifamily homes with food production spaces, and may also feature other nature-focused amenities such as trails or natural wildlife areas. They are typically maintained by a master farming team and residents can choose to participate as much or as little as they want in the production process. Homeowners can buy into the garden in exchange for crops or exchange labor for fresh food. The farm-to-table neighborhood concept has been “cropping” up around the country (pun intended). The number of these farming communities has been growing, and there are now over twenty agrihoods in the United States and Canada.
