An 'Agrihood' is a community focused on agriculture. South Village features a 13-acre Organic Farm managed in partnership with Common Roots, a local non-profit promoting food security. The Farm has a full-time Lead Farmer, seasonal staff, interns, and volunteers cultivating produce for an on-site Farm Stand. Residents can buy fresh produce grown on-site for 8-9 months annually. Programs include chicken rearing and gardening in raised beds with optional participation.
A 'Conservation Community' prioritizes preserving natural resources during neighborhood design to minimize environmental impact. South Village dedicates over 130 acres to conservation, including upland, meadows, forests, ponds, and marshes. Bylaws regulate land use to ensure perpetual conservation. Stormwater is managed through grass swales, maintaining water quality for wildlife habitats. A Stewardship Board oversees the conservation land, funded by a .05% contribution from home sales. Activities include managing invasive species and restoring habitats. The open land offers opportunities for exploring, while pets are prohibited to protect the area's integrity.
