A growing movement of communities being built around working farms and community gardens is taking root across the country. The Urban Land Institute (ULI) defines agrihoods as single family, multifamily, or mixed-use communities centered around working farms.
Instead of development pushing agriculture further away from population centers, agrihoods enable development to preserve land for farming where people live, invest in critical farm infrastructure, and subsidize a portion of the cost to operate a diversified community farm.
Agrihoods also make it easy for people to foster a deeper connection to the land, improve their health, and strengthen relationships with their neighbors. They are a tool for building community, nourishing people with healthy food, and teaching people about agriculture.
Dozens of new agrihoods are sprouting up every year creating a growing demand for people seeking to live in communities focused on healthy sustainable living. Middlebrook in Cumming, Iowa seeks to join this movement by creating an agrihood that honors the agricultural legacy of the state and region, while building a vibrant neighborhood that nourishes community through healthy food and farming.
A place of special moments, Middlebrook uses its enviable position in the region only twenty minutes away from downtown Des Moines, and anchors the southwest corner of the metro. Located in the suburb of Cumming, this small town offers a quiet retreat for active professionals and families after the hustle and bustle of the day.
By building off of the foundation of this agricultural community, Middlebrook envisions new neighborhoods with architecturally unique single-family homes, suburban townhomes, and a town center that brings vibrancy and livelihood to the community. A place where families can be raised, memories created, and dreams achieved. It’s Middlebrook, in sustainable harmony.

In Great Western Crossing, a neighborhood of Middlebrook, lots are available! This bike-friendly neighborhood located on the north side of Middlebrook will incorporate the new agricultural community concept, unique design and character, and includes access to the Great Western Bike Trail.
