What this is.

The farm website describes a 48-acre property and a planned three-acre first production phase. Its roadmap places market-garden development across 2026–27 and a CSA in summer 2027. The development website describes a broader, proposed 200-acre agrihood concept. These are different scopes and should not be added together.

OUR EDITORIAL LEARNING LENS

What to learn here.

Use Armistead to examine phased delivery: first establish a manageable production area, then connect it to community food and education. Distinguish a published vision from an operating service. A sound comparison asks which facilities, staff and customer commitments exist at each phase.

Your first useful step

Read the farm roadmap and confirm the current phase directly before requesting a visit or CSA information. Use the economics tool to explore a small first-phase production budget rather than modelling the entire development as farmland.

Read before you act.

The CSA, expanded education and agrihood concepts are plans, not confirmed open services. Dates and development scope may change; this listing does not offer property, memberships or subscriptions.
