FARMING THE SUBURBS

“Development-supported agriculture” is defining new housing subdivisions.  Farms, complete with livestock, vegetables and fruit trees, are serving as a way to entice potential buyers to settle into a new housing development.  In planning a new neighborhood, a developer includes a farm, community garden, orchard, livestock operation, or edible park that attracts buyers, increases home values, and brings neighbors together.  See how the idea is working in subdivisions from Vermont to Colorado.
