Lots at The Farm at Cane Creek are often described as suitable for use as a “mini farm.”
What is a mini-farm?
The term “mini farm” usually refers to a plot of land that is at least an acre and up and is suitable (and approved) for gardens, greenhouses, growing a small crop or having horses, livestock or chickens. In other areas, the mini-farm may also be referred to as a hobby farm or gentleman’s farm too.
Generally, one person can farm up to 1 acre of land on their own depending on what they are growing or the animals they are taking care of. For many young families or couples who wish to grow their own food (or a portion of it) or have their own horses, livestock and chickens, a mini farm is a perfect way to do that without having to take on the full responsibility of a large farm (the average farm size is 444 acres). A mini farm is also located in a suitable area usually surrounded by other large lots and has gone through the regulatory approvals for such farming activities. Generally, most developments with homes on ¼ acre lots or less are not conducive to a farm style lifestyle and may also not be approved by that homeowners association or neighborhood community.
