Farm to your table? How ‘agrihoods’ can create access to fresh food
November 2018
The "Agrihood" development plan heading to the Santa Clara City Council for a vote as early as next month calls for 361 homes and a small farm to be built on vacant land near the San Jose border. If the council approves the proposal, it would introduce the Bay Area to a trend taking the national real estate world by storm.
"We are seeing a lot of interest in this concept," said Ed McMahon, a sustainable development expert with the Washington-based Urban Land Institute. "I get a call at least once a week, and probably have for the last year about this."
The Santa Clara project takes its name from the agrihood movement, in which developers build residential communities around urban farms. McMahon is tracking about 100 such projects across the country, and he's constantly finding new ones.
