Helps to eliminate Climate issues, with enough Agrifarms and other grand ideas that are making a Regenerative headway across the earth. Praise and glory to Almighty God.

I run a small regenerative farm as part of an agrihood in Baja California Sur, Mexico. In our context, we struggle to find skilled farm labor and a balanced agreement between the farm and the HOA for sharing the costs of running the farm – the property’s main amenity. Love seeing this concept being highlighted!

I’m surprised ULI (Urban Land Institute) didn’t steer you towards them.

I would love to do this at my farm, but my wife and I had to stretch to even afford the 25 acres we bought because land is so expensive in Iowa. We certainly don’t have the space to accommodate other farmers, even with growing the higher value crops we do (chestnuts and pawpaws)
But if I won the lottery I would absolutely try to buy a neighboring parcel and create a community for beginning farmers. One big drawback to rural living is the lack of neighborhood kids I had growing up in suburbia that my own kids don’t have. Having a community like this could fix that.

Incorporate small animals, fish, fruit trees surrounding the space and volunteer labor. I describe models in my book, A Radiant Earth.
