Sustainability

Serosun Farms is a development designed to implement a sustainable approach to rural living in a community that includes active agricultural operations. Each element of Serosun Farms plays a role in the sustainable effort, from the active agricultural operations, residential housing and equestrian center, to the preservation and restoration of natural areas.

Serosun Farms community goals include:

  • Provide 70-80% of energy through clean, renewable, on-site sources. The three key energy sources are wind, solar and geothermal energy
  • Preserve, restore and maintain the quality of the natural resources on the Estate
  • Foster a sustainable way of life to reduce the community’s carbon footprint on the environment
  • Create a vibrant community that celebrates the beauty, natural elements, farming culture and history of the site
  • Provide a living example for land management, sustainable development, farming and community life
