What Is an ‘Agrihood’? The Newest Garden Trend That Can Increase Your Real Estate Value
Sendero Farm, sitting on half an acre and nestled between homes and a multi-use trail and regional bikeway, is a living example of a true farm-to-table experience in which local residents work, learn, and share in the neighborhood farm. The motivation behind the farm was to turn an undeveloped parcel of the neighborhood into a productive farm that could also function as an event space for the residents—all while meeting the ecological protection requirements of the nearby San Juan River. Farmscape, a company that creates food-focused California gardens, was brought in to develop and implement the plan for this new farm, including extensive soil building, planting plans, production techniques, farm maintenance, and programming development—essentially every element that goes into creating an agrihood.
