Daron Joffe, a.k.a. Farmer D, is a farmer, designer, and ambitious field-builder promoting the idea of agrihoods and conservation-focused land development. He is the author of Citizen Farmers: The Biodynamic Way to Grow Healthy Food, Build Thriving Communities, and Give Back to the Earth, and the leader of Farmer D, an organization that creates agrihoods by collaborating with developers, nonprofits, and governments. He believes in the "village" model, where housing development is clustered, while large swaths of surrounding land is conserved for nature and agriculture. Farmer D and show host Neal are joined by Latitude Regenerative Real Estate change agent, Soraya Schneider. They discuss Farmer D's path to farming and agrihood-building, which included him dropping out of college twice and a surprise meeting with a monk. They also dive into how Farmer D tackles big projects, carefully studying a place's particular cultural and ecological nature and dealing with large governmental and nonprofit institutions, and they explore how he is taking on the monumental task of creating a new field of knowledge around agrihoods.

On Friday's show: Beginning this weekend, a crucial highway ramp connecting 610 and 59 is set to close for two years. We discuss what it will mean for traffic in the region. And we find out which players the Texans picked up in the early rounds of the NFL Draft. Also this hour: With housing prices so high and supply of new homes struggling to keep up, would-be Houston-area homeowners are increasingly looking outward, beyond the suburbs, beyond the exurbs, to developments being touted as “agrihoods.” We learn about one such development in Richmond and contemplate the state of residential real estate in an increasingly sprawling Greater Houston. Plus: The long-awaited Yankees letter has been released and offers insight into how the Yankees stole signs electronically for two seasons before the Astros did. This week's panel weighs in on The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly. And, ahead of his final concert as music director of the Houston Symphony, Andrés Orozco-Estrada sits down with Joshua Zinn.
On Monday's show: The Harris Health System announced the release of its only COVID-19 patient this past Friday, leaving zero COVID-19 patients for the first time since March of 2020. And Memorial Hermann also announced Friday that they would be easing several of their COVID guidelines – health screenings won't be required from employees and patients and masks will be optional in non-patient areas. Visitation will also return to pre-pandemic rules. While some things may be looking better for hospitals they're still assessing the full scope of the financial damage the pandemic caused over the last two years. Also this hour: You still have until the end of the day to file your federal income taxes. We discuss why the deadline was extended to today and what you should do if you can't get yours filed on time. Plus, veterinarian Dr. Lori Teller answers your pet care questions. And we get an update on Houston sports from Jeff Balke.

7,000 miles + 11 months = 21 agrihood visits across the US for my guest Brett Coleman along his wife, Lena and their young son. But why? Don't miss this podcast to hear about how agrihoods are more community focused compared to typical neighborhoods. Why they are so popular and so sought after. And for someone who's visited so many, I ask, how do they compare to one another? What are the drawbacks and what is Brett's advice to anyone looking at moving into an agricultural community? For more information on agrihoods, visit us at https://buildingtheagrhiood.com Visit my guest, Brett Coleman at: https://agrihoodliving.com
Today I'm interviewing Brett and Lena Coleman. They traveled 7,000 miles and visited 21 agricultural neighborhoods in less than a year! We're talking about what an agrihood is, why they are quickly becoming so popular and sought after (most have waiting lists), abd who they're for. (Spoiler: They aren't just for millenials!) We talk about which agrihood is their favorite and with so much focus on community, we discuss if an agricultural neighborhood is a commune. And because they've toured so many and have spoken with so many of the developers, I also ask the Coleman's what the drawbacks are. There is a wealth of information here for anyone wanting to learn more about agri-community living.

The (http://www.miufi.org/) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that seeks to engage members of the Michigan community in sustainable agriculture. Using a agriculture as a platform to promote education, sustainability, and community, while simultaneously building reducing socioeconomic disparity We’re a non-profit in the Detroit’s north end neighborhood. We’ve got a 3 acre campus The work that we do falls into 1 of 3 categories 1st structural quality in the food system by increased act of locally sourced produce driving innovation through blooming green infrastructure Challenging the urban development paradigm through piloting this America’s first sustainable Agrihood model. 100% volunteer run That was a lot of descriptive words in a very short amount of time. What is an agrihood? I did also talk to 3 other amazing rockstar millennials from that area: Jamie Todek (https://organicgardenerpodcast.com/72-jamie-todek-gardening-and-designing-at-the-lone-oak-farm-oxford-mi/) . What ‘s an Agrihood? Agrihood is an emerging residential development strategy that basically is taking a working urban farm and is centering it as the main part of a residential development There are about 200 of them across the country located in rural or suburban areas likend to the modern golf course often a really beautiful green space that is often leveraged as an amenity to increase the attractiveness or walkability or property values interesting-ness of a neighborhood. Probably the most famous example is (http://serenbe.com/) if you look across the different Agrihood models fairly high income. So it’s sort of you talk to a lot of urban planners and developers. bring up urban agriculture academics super interested who don’t really understand the industry, in theory it makes a lot of sense but if you look at numbers, it’s not the highest and best use urban ag isn’t performing really well as far as the performance on the land itself but the impact that it has demonstrated to have on adjacent property values. It may be an opportunity what sustainable land use in urban. So I am going to back up, incase you haven’t understood or missed it, so it’s basically like a mini central park except a farm in the middle of a community. Is it the size of a football field or a track? How big is it visual? The campus itself is 3 acres The production farm is one acre So a typical lot is what a 1/3 of an acre? It seems like there are a lot of houses of it. so the campus is not where the housing a typical lot is 30 feet by 100 feet We are located on 3 acres, it’s 19 parcels total. Of that 1 acre is production farm and the other 2 acres are our: community center intern house children’s garden The housing around is part of that Agrihood model but not within the campus itself. The food that’s grown there do the people come grow the food or who eats it? Do they buy it? All the food is free for anybody that wants it! And who grows it? The people who live near there? its mostly volunteers of the non-profit people who live near by that are involved. We have a ton of volunteers It’s not like a community garden where people come in manage their own plot. The non-profit basically through it’s own resources manages the farm. We harvest everything, basically if you are somebody who wants produce you can come to the farm whenever you want and we’ll do the harvesting for you. You can have as much as you want as we physically have. We do the harvesting and weigh it out. Priority is sort of given to area residents but we don’t turn anyone away. How long has it been there? 6 1/2 years. Are you the founder? How did you come up with this idea? What’s your story? Yes, it started very different then it is today. I was in college, I am now...
