Agritopia is not like a country farm in that it will be in the heart of a fairly dense urban area. This farm is an "urban farm" designed to flourish in the urban setting. Instead of a huge field of one crop, you find a patchwork of numerous specialty crops. The farm has pathways which allow residents and visitors to easily view the crops. The harvest is sold at the Farm Stand, as well as being served at Joe's Farm Grill and The Coffee Shop. All of the produce grown on the farm is grown under the USDA organic protocol.
Within Agritopia, there are nearly 15 acres of urban farm. Urban farms are very different from farms you currently see in the rural areas. For instance, an urban farm must create more value per acre. That means specialized crops that people are willing to pay more for. These include specialty greens, heirloom tomatoes, and fresh herbs. This implies a mosaic of diverse crops, rather than a standard crop.
Make sure and stop by Joe's Farm Grill and The Coffee Shop to get a sample of the great local products Agritopia is bringing to the local community.
