Farming with an eye on the future.

In This Podcast: The home purchase was going to be a stretch, but she could not escape the pull. After several visits, Katie Critchley took the leap and this farming community is much more than she expected. The appeal was so strong that her extended family joined her as well. She found herself becoming more and more involved and eventually became the Farm Director at a truly integrated farming community. A one sentence description is impossible – you must hear this podcast to understand, and you’ll be wanting to visit Agritopia very soon!

Katie is the Farm Director of The Farm at Agritopia and a long time resident of the nationally recognized and award winning “agrihood” at Agritopia. She is a founding board member of The Johnston Family Foundation for Urban Agriculture, which is committed to promoting and preserving Urban Agriculture throughout the State of Arizona.

She has also been a part of the development team at Johnston Properties maintaining and expanding their commercial holdings. Her last role at Johnston Properties was co-project manager for the award winning craftsman community, Barnone located in Agritopia.
