Additional Information About This Property
We are building a housing community with a emphases on health and wellness. Our community will be built in a pocket neighborhood fashion with green spaces and gardens as a key feature. Surrounding our houses we want to utilize our land by partnering with independent farmer/farmers who focus on regenerative and diverse farming. We will help build the necessary infrastructure as well as allow the farmer use our community building to set up a farm store and put on events for our residence to interact with their farmer. We would love for the farmer to live on site and be a member of our community.
