Building an Ambitious Agrihood with Scott Snodgrass
Show Notes

Scott Snodgrass is an entrepreneur, farmer, and land developer. He's started a number of businesses, including Edible Earth Resources, a productive landscapes company; Agmenity, a community farm developer; and most recently Meristem Communities, a real estate development firm focusing on "places for people." He and his business partner Clayton Garrett are working on their first big community project near Houston, called Indigo.

Scott and show host Neal discuss Scott's path to "places for people"-focused real estate, including how he first stumbled into farming after coffee growers in Nicaragua asked him for help with their crops.  They touch on Scott's various business ventures, including starting one of the first big edible landscaping companies in the United States and how he was introduced to development through various projects with his community farm company. They also get into the details around his ambitious Indigo project, a 235 acre community near Houston that will have over 650 homes, a walkable "commons" area with businesses, over 40 acres of farmland with vegetables and animals, wastewater reuse irrigation, a solar-powered battery for backup power, and ecological habitats for migratory birds.
