Breakout Session | Agrihoods: Turning Land Into Legacy - A Practical Guide for Realtors, Landowners and Developers

Agrihoods—communities centered around working farms and regenerative land practices—are emerging as a compelling land use strategy across urban, suburban, and rural markets. For Realtors advising landowners, developers, and buyers, understanding when and how agrihoods create value is increasingly important to guiding smarter land decisions.

This session provides a practical overview of agrihoods through the lens of land value, feasibility, and market positioning. Drawing on extensive experience across farming, land planning, and development advisory work, the presentation clarifies what defines an agrihood, where the model works best, and when it is not the right solution. Attendees will explore how agrihoods function across different contexts—from working farms and ranches to edge-of-growth properties—while gaining insight into key planning, zoning, and stewardship considerations, without crossing into legal or entitlement advice.

Attendees will leave with a clearer framework for identifying agrihood potential in listings, guiding early conversations with landowners and developers, and positioning land for long-term value. Landowners and developers attending will gain perspective on how agrihoods can align market performance, land stewardship, and long-term outcomes.
