Pandemic and Everyday Homeschooling with Amy Roberts

I’m Jennifer Ross and I invite you to join me on my journey on how I’m building a walkable community of like-minded families seeking a sustainable, farm-to-table lifestyle centered around a working farm. 

I’m sharing my story, and guest interviews as I develop this residential neighborhood that creates that rare sense of belonging. Living life among neighbors who you call friends and friends you call family. Where our kids spend more of their free time outside in nature than they do inside on iPads.

While others are isolating and distancing, we believe that a good life is a shared life, and that’s why we are Building the Agrihood.

Agrihoods need land, and a lot of it!  Finding the right piece has been a 6 month or more journey. In this episode I am sharing the updates regarding acquring acreage and some of the ups and downs that go along with it. Have I made an official offer? Do I have a contract?  Listen in and find out! https://buildingtheagrihood.com/

I Found Land! ...Kind of

A journey of a thousand miles starts with the first step. While I'm past the first step stage in building the agrihood, there are still quite a few miles to go!  On a recent episode I talked about a developer I'd met through a mutual friend at a REIA one night.  In this podcast I share with you the update, the conversations that have happened since that first night and how it's okay that things like this don't get built over-night.  

Small steps lead to large accomplishments

In August 2021 I drove my 5 youngest children down to Chattahoochee Hills, GA to visit Serenbe.  This is easily one of the largest and most established agrihoods in the country.  Did I love it and make plans to model this agrihood? Or are there things I'd change for our own ag-community?  I share it all in this episode. Either way, we enjoyed that Sunday afternoon just walking and driving around Serenbe, recapping not only what I liked, but what I plan to do a little differently in the agrihood we build. http://buildingtheagrihood.com

Visiting Serenbe

The idea of building an agrihood can be intimidating. There are offers to be made on properties and with that comes rejections.  In this episode, I'm sharing more of my story with you and sharing about what's happened in the last 6 months on this journey.  Listen in to hear who I met the day before recording this and how this introduction is changing my course some. 

How many land offers does it take to develop an agrihood?

Welcome to season one, episode one!  I'm your host, Jennifer Ross, and on today's show I'm excited to share with you my story on why I want to develop an agrihood.  You'll hear why I believe the idea of mixing suburb life with country life is not only achievable, but fully worth pursuing, and you'll hear why I'm taking on such a monumental task of building a small village!  If you've ever had any interest in ditching the city life for life on a small farm (without all the work of a farm!), don't miss your chance to peek in on my journey.
