Longleaf Preserve
In 2008, Farmer D was asked to reimagine an equestrian community master plan and replace the equestrian center with a community farm. As part of the revisioning process Farmer D and his team suggested a town center with farm-themed main street and market square adjacent to a senior center and school.
The client loved this vision so much he asked Farmer D Consulting to redesign the entire 2400 acre master plan. FDC worked closely with the scientists at the neighboring E.O. Wilson Biophilia Center and 50,000 acre Nokuse Plantation to ensure the revised plan connected to the wildlife corridors and extended the restoration of the native Longleaf Pine Forest ecosystem.
Farmer D helped implement the organic farm and began an organic stewardship plan for the entire 2400 acres. Unfortunately the downturn in 2008 put the project on hold.
