The New Trend In Lifestyle Living

November 13, 2020 by Arica Haro

The “agrihood” or agricultural neighborhood, is a community with a professionally managed farm as its centerpiece.

As exhausted, uncertain, and lonely Americans of 2020 seek stability, agrihoods feel like the best kind of change: simple and back to basics.
