Ever wanted to quit the city and run away to start a farm? Welcome to the agrihood, where you can have town living in a rural setting.
Agrihoods are booming in the United States, where food access can be a factor when deciding where to liveThey are all the rage in the United States and they could soon be coming to a neighbourhood near you.
"But they don't have as much of a focus on food production, whereas an agrihood does have a focus on food production."Agrihoods are popping up across North America, from retrofitted golf courses to suburban fringes as developers tap into a growing desire to connect with food sources. Some models have a professionally run farm at the centre of the neighbourhood, which supplies the community.
ULI Randall Lewis Center for Sustainability in Real Estate senior director Matt Norris said their research found 73 per cent of US residents factored in access to fresh, healthy food when they looked for a place to live.Advocates say people are increasingly interested in where their food comes from and the agri-residential model taps into this trend.
Mr Grist was also the former owner of a Cairns microgreens company and said Australia's first agrihood would be firmly focused on food production. Convicted baby killer Keli Lane is making a bid for freedom, but a 'no body, no parole' law may affect her chances
