Core Agrihood

Multi-Family Project

Project Summary

Farmscape was selected as the farm consultant for this groundbreaking multigenerational agrihood project in 2015. Over the course of almost a decade of planning, we were involved in every aspect of the farm’s development, contributing design development and construction documents, installation, planting, signage and programming. Stay tuned for the completed project, opening in July 2023!

Project Goals

  • Create a community agriculture hub celebrating the agricultural heritage of The Valley of Heart’s Delight
  • Provide a “multigenerational hangout” space for the senior affordable building, market rate townhomes and mixed income building residents to congregate
  • Grow organic food for local residents
The Agrihood is under construction after 8 long years

Farmscape joined this project team in 2015, and contributed to every phase from design through maintenance and programming. We coordinated with Joni L Janecki and Associates and Steinberg Hart to nestle the farm into the larger site design. In addition, we worked with Watersprout to customize a rainwater irrigation system. This project will open to the community for volunteering in late 2023.

“We worked with Farmscape for many years developing this project and each of their teams-design, installation and farm maintenance-are all exceptional.”

— Chris Neale, President, The Core Companies
