One of the most common questions we get when we tell people we’re building an agrihood is whether we’ll have any affordable housing. To that question, the answer is a resounding ‘Yes!’

On 3/10/2025 I visited the first agrihood of the year. The site, Agritopia, is located in Gilbert, AZ just outside of Phoenix. Agritopia sits on 166 acres of mixed use development and boasts 11 acres of urban farmland.

Have a sneak peek at some of the ideas which have been generated during our Agrihood Design Series. These ideas are rough and not final but still worth sharing!

In order to generate the best design ideas for the Bennington Agrihood, we’ve decided to employ a series of participatory design events.

The term agrihood is a portmanteau of neighborhood and agriculture. It refers to a neighborhood which has a farm located within its boundaries.

Did you hear? We’re designing a sweet new community near Bennington, NE. It’s a neighborhood built around a working farm! Wanna get involved? Read the full article to find out how.

A lot goes into a development project like this. We’ve been lucky to gain inspiration from so many before us. We’re standing on the shoulders of giants in the form of people, organizations, concepts and places. We draw inspiration and guidance from these sources every day and we wanted to shout them out in listicle form on our blog!
