Permaculture based Sustainable Farming

The Tarleton Ranch Eco-Village (TREV) offers a Permaculture based evolution of the Project Site’s existing agriculturally zoned land, from cattle ranch and hay farm into a beautiful community Eco-Farm Park, where regeneratively sustainable nutrient rich food is grown for the surrounding mixed-use community.

The Eco-Farm component of TREV’s Master Plan incorporates and has been thoughtfully created with the principles and concepts of Permaculture Science, New Urbanist Smart Code and New Ruralism.

 

COME GROW WITH US – where walkable Tarleton Ranch Eco-Village mixed-use Community Neighborhoods and Village Center surround our beautiful and very unusual 185 acre Eco-Farm Park; filled with Trails, Park Amenities and Bountiful Food Production!
