Nice idea. However, for 361 units, the farm land looks too small to
support 361 families.

They’re Indians, you could support 500 Indian families on that amount of land.

At best, you might have enough gardening space for two families or one farmer. I don’t think the guy in charge of this project has ever grown anything in his life. Course, if this were all Marijuana, then I think the project would work well.

Yeah, but the produce isn’t for exclusive use of the tenants. It will be sold through other channels. The artists rendering shows what appears to be a large community garden plot, not a true farm.

The one mentioned in Davis, CA is 3.5-acres and can produce up to 25,000 pounds of produce an acre in peak season. It has 60 apartments. Assuming 2.5 people per apartment, that’s about 700 pounds of food per year per resident!
