An agrarian village within Harvest Green will showcase local curated goods and host social events. An event barn and local shops will offer farm to table dinners and culinary classes. Integrated into the adjacent community farm village, residents and visitors can harvest berries, produce and herbs. Residents will have the option to join the community’s farm co-op where they will receive fresh produce weekly.

These interconnected systems support healthy living through miles of hike and bike trails, local farm-fresh food and agriculture based social events. Along with healthy residents, Harvest Green promotes healthy ecosystems through low impact development, natural systems restoration and edible plant communities.
