Agrihoods are the fastest growing trend in residential developments dedicated to the Farm-to-Table lifestyle around the world! Mount Verde offers this urban-rural blend of lifestyles, the best of both worlds; farming and mixed-uses at one’s doorstep with agriculture as the building block and framework.
We understand how and where you live has an impact on every area of your life, and we all strive for the best possible living experience for our families. Here on Mount Verde Estate, we present to you a Farm-to-Table neighbourhood. A place where you can connect with the land, grow your own food and get to know your neighbours. Where most of the food on your table comes freshly harvested from your own bountiful crop or from the planned Harvest Farm in the Village.
A place where you can connect with the land, grow your own food and get to know your neighbours.
At its core, Mount Verde Estate is a working sustainable farm that promotes local farming, healthy living and an appreciation for fresh, organic foods.
Everyone likes the idea of coming home to the farm. Not all residents in Mount Verde are farmers, some may work remotely, some may even work in town or in a different city. But they all like the idea of coming home to the farm; to reconnect to the land and to the lifestyle it represents. It’s about living well on the land.
If you don’t want to farm, but enjoy the lifestyle, then we have that covered. Here are some options:
At its core, Mount Verde Estate is a working sustainable farm that promotes local farming, healthy living and an appreciation for fresh, organic foods.
You will be astonished by the delicious juicy zest and glowing textures of your home grown vegetables, fruit and herbs.
Direct from the field to your table, growing what you eat gives you a sense of complete satisfaction. Enjoy healthy sustainable food that has a freshness, flavour and tradition that is so often missing from the mass stocked produce we find in our convenience stores today.
The choice of being self-sufficient is becoming more desirable, giving you the option of growing organically, especially during times of crisis or global pandemic.
Farming or gardening is simpler than you think, and there is nothing like fresh organic vegetables, especially if you have grown them yourself. The choice of being self-sufficient is even more desirable today amidst times of crisis or global pandemic we all have experienced.
As Audrey Hepburn once said “To plant a garden is to believe in tomorrow.”
Mount Verde Ridge offers farms and farmettes, where farmers consider high value agriculture, in order to make their business profitable. Some may want to farm, others would prefer someone else to farm, but still want to enjoy the benefits of living on their own farm. Those who have dreamed of becoming self sustainable, on Mount Verde, this is now a reality.
For the smaller lot properties, the planned Harvest Farm in the Village shall offer fresh produce, meat and dairy products to residents and local restaurants in the region, creating true farm-to-table experiences for our residents and visitors. The proximity to food sources provides assurance to its quality and freshness encouraging a healthier diet and lifestyle.
At build-out Mount Verde Estate will provide dwellings ranging from single family homes, townhouses, apartments, senior living and high-end estate homes, with 70% of the total land devoted to agriculture, animal husbandry and natural open space.
Mount Verde Estate and Agrihood is more than just a residential estate near a farm. It has been designed to be a lifestyle. Our approach links a number of activities and uses tightly together thus making the residential component more integral with the land and farming.
The trails meandering around the farm, barns, open space and residences provide linkage of each component as it develops. The farming activities on Mount Verde Ridge, the planned Harvest Farm in the Village and future equestrian activities add life to the estate.
The planned Village Square shall be outfitted with event spaces, restaurants, coffee shops, on-site kitchens for workshops, Chapel, and an outdoor amphitheatre area to inspire neighbours to meet and enjoy activities together.
Our community simply shall provide a better, healthier place to live, work, play, learn and grow, both indoors and out.
Mount Verde Estate and Agrihood is more than just a residential estate near a farm.
For everything that is built, we leave a little something unbuilt.
For everything that is built, we leave a little something unbuilt. Where nature can take root and the land can breathe. Where you can spend time outdoors, tantalising your senses, gaining responsibility and building confidence in kids and adults alike.
Recreational trail systems will run through and connect the open spaces through Mount Verde Estate providing a shared use environment for the community to explore the natural areas and provide recreation.
In addition to hectares of farmland, the trail systems and bike lanes will run through and connect the open spaces and various components throughout Mount Verde Ridge and the Village providing a shared use environment for recreation. Some of the trail systems will be restricted within the hamlets for those residents only, but will interconnect into the Village for shared use.
These trail systems include km’s of mountain bike routes, running and walking trails. The development of these trails will be constructed on an ongoing basis, and new areas will be introduced as additional phases or components of the estate are released.
Outdoor activities that are are available for all residents include:
