Southlands is the first project of its kind in North America — a masterplanned beach community rooted in farming and food — reestablishing the culture of agriculture in a new sense of place. Based on the principles of ‘agricultural urbanism’ — an approach that integrates farming and urbanism at the metropolitan edge — Southlands establishes a true expression of farm-to-table living through a carefully crafted, culturally rich urban-agrarian experience that celebrates farming and educates people about the food they eat. Agriculture activates the social, cultural, economic, and recreational activities in the surrounding neighborhoods.
