SONOMA COUNTY’S ONLY AGRIHOOD

Sense of place, care for the earth, connection to each other. Petaluma’s first agrihood is a new living farm community defined by the very soil on which it’s built.

WHAT IS AN AGRIHOOD?
It’s a new kind of neighborhood. Quite simply, an Agrihood is a neighborhood built within a working farm. It unites agricultural land use with residents who desire a greater quality of life, thinking beyond simple urban revitalization and addressing our need for reconnection. It’s the beautifully simple idea of growing food and growing community together.

This type of neighborhood combines the health benefits of living in connection to nature, the emotional well-being experienced in a community, and the positive environmental impact of local, organic agriculture. Add to that the goodness of net-zero energy homes, so we can do our part to protect the planet. It’s just a smart and satisfying way to live.
