In the last decade, real estate has witnessed change on multiple fronts – change in the buyer profile, increased preference towards community-driven living, flexible work schedules and prioritization on health. All these, combined with a focus on growing and eating fresh, local food is leading to emergence of Farm-based communities.
Agrihood Communities are mixed-use communities built with a community farm as a focus. The purpose of these communities is to facilitate food production simultaneously provide recreation for members of the community.
