Growing Sustainable Communities by the Bushel

Agriculture in the Suburbs and Exurbs

Agriburbia® is serious agriculture done in the communities that purchase the production.

It is beautiful, efficient and sustainable.

Planned, designed, installed and operated by professionals, Agriburbia offers landowners options balanced for effort and payback.

With Agriburbia as your partner production and profits go up.

The Big Idea

Transform vacant or underutilized land into prime farmland

Turf is an expense, but when you lease your land to Agriburbia that expense becomes a source of income. Imagine getting a check for a percentage of the crops sold from your excess land, while doing less mowing and watering.

Use professional farmers and water wise practices

First, your land undergoes agricultural conversion insuring success. This agricultural conversion may include site anaylsis, landscape planning, soil amendments, and drip irragation setup. Once established planting and maintanence are done by skilled farmers using natural methods.

Sell production locally.
Efficiently complete the cycle.

The Agriburbia® difference is that food production is pre-sold to local buyers. What to plant is determined by what the buyers want.

Offer landowners many options and services.

Agriburbia offers several models and service levels.
Agriburbia works with Homeowners, HOA's, Cities & Counties, School Districts, Ultities, Builders, Developers and rural landowners.

Agriburbia believes that the next generation of suburban development will maximise Agriburbia principals and provide long term income to developers. More . .

Agriburbia Concept

Agriburbia® is design movement and economic model that advocates for private development and re-development which integrates aspects of Agrarianism, along with contemporary design methods and other environmentally sound principals of real estate development. It combines the positive cultural, physical and financial characteristics from both the urban and rural ends of the landuse spectrum to create an entirely new designation.

Agriburbia incorporates professional food production as a key element in the community design, social network, and financial viability of the development. Agriburbia provides a commercially viable mechanism for individuals and businesses to become more self sufficient and create truly sustainable communities.

Agriburbia Principles

Agriburbia® promotes and supports the following policies and principles:

  • Agricultural Production: No loss of agricultural value or revenue ("Green Fields" development), or production of dietary requirements of the project or equivalent cash from sales crops, or combination thereof.
  • Locally Grown Food: Production of a significant portion (30 to 50%) of dietary requirements grown within or in the immediate surrounding area of the community
  • Conserves and Promotes Natural Resources: Appropriate and efficient use of natural resources to provide housing, transportation, recreation and fresh food through creative, harmonious land planning and landscape architecture for the community. This includes use of alternative energy sources as well as land and water.
  • Self Sufficiency: Provide a commercially viable opportunity for enhanced self- sufficiency for community residents, tenants, and guests.
  • Sustainable Energy Practices : Integrate solar and geothermal technology to provide sustainable energy sources for the community.
  • Financing: Incorporate established entities (Metropolitan Districts, HOAs) to finance both traditional infrastructure (streets, water, sewer) and environmentally friendly agricultural infrastructure (drip irrigation)
