Tiny Homes with a Big Farm- Elizabeth Farias

Episode #13 - Elizabeth Farias from Village Farm explains the big dream that’s about to come true for Texas’ only tiny home Agrihood.

Summary

On this episode of Agrihood Radio we’re catching up with Village Farm Representative, Elizabeth Farias.

Today Elizabeth talks about the first of it's kind, a tiny home Agrihood located in Austin, Texas.

During our travels we have yet to visit a tiny home Agrihood. So when we heard about Village Farm, we had to make a special trip to see it in person.

Our trip was met with a warm greeting by Elizabeth and her colleagues. So we wanted to catch back up with her and have her share the story of how Village Farm all began, and the vision of where it’s headed.

We think you’ll be as impressed as we were of how this tiny community has such a big vision for its’ residents.

Elizabeth admits that when she first heard of a tiny home Agrihood, she asked herself the question “how are people going to buy that?” She said “there's no way!”

To her surprise she said she couldn’t have been more wrong in her assumptions.

She tells us that Village Farm attracts first-time home buyers, professionals, baby-boomers, empty-nesters to single parents. She explains this as being an extremely diverse community made up of very like-minded people, who all want to simplify their lives.

It’s continuing to become extremely popular with that segment of the population. So much so, Elizabeth says her sales team is seeing a major influx of people moving to Village Farm from all over the country.

She says “everybody wants a piece of Village Farm!”

We also learned that Village Farm works with four different home builders, Clayton Homes, Platinum Homes, Athens Homes, and Wheelhaus.

Residents can choose from these four builders with a total of nine different floor plans.

However, because of the growing popularity, starting with phase two, Village Farm will be offering additional builders which will also increase the current number of floor plans.

Have a listen as we learn more about the only tiny home Agri-Community we've seen along our 7,000 mile tour.

Enjoy!
