Considering a move to Pine Dove Farm in Tallahassee? Here are the most frequently asked questions about life in this unique agrihood community.
1. What is an “agrihood” and why is Pine Dove Farm one?
An agrihood is a planned community centered around agriculture, typically featuring a working farm or community garden as its main amenity. It seamlessly blends residential living with opportunities to grow fresh food, spend time outdoors, and enjoy abundant green space.
Pine Dove Farm perfectly embodies this concept: residents don’t just live near a farm—they live with one. The community garden, fresh produce sales, and shared green commons form the heart of neighborhood life, creating a true farm-to-door lifestyle.
2. Can I participate without gardening experience?
Absolutely! You don’t need any gardening expertise to get involved. Pine Dove Farm welcomes residents at every skill level. Start small by helping the farm manager with simple tasks, joining community work days, or simply enjoying the harvest when it’s ready.
Participation is entirely optional—it’s an enriching amenity for those who want it, not a requirement for those who prefer to simply enjoy the beautiful surroundings.
3. What are the benefits of agrihood living?
Living in an agrihood delivers multiple advantages: access to ultra-fresh, locally grown food; expansive green spaces that reduce stress and boost well-being; natural opportunities for community building; healthier lifestyles through gardening and outdoor activities; and environmental benefits from reduced food transportation.
Your home becomes part of a thriving ecosystem of food, nature, and meaningful connections—not just a place to sleep.
4. How big are the lots, and what homes are available?
Pine Dove Farm features 134 home sites on generous half-acre lots—much larger than typical subdivision lots of 1/8 acre or less. This means significantly more private outdoor space for your family to enjoy.
Homes feature practical side-entry garages and are thoughtfully designed for comfort and spaciousness. For detailed floor plans and specifications, visit the Living Space section at pinedovefarm.com.
5. What financing options are available?
Many Pine Dove Farm homes qualify for USDA Single Family Housing Loan Programs, offering lower interest rates and potentially zero down payment for eligible buyers. Currently, all available floor plans are full-sized homes—no smaller models are offered.
