The cooler September temperatures welcomed Christoper Burtt (pictured) to Carnes Crossroads as the Agrihood’s first official Farm Director. In this role, Christopher will oversee the 12+ acres of farm, and farm store & barn currently under construction in the popular residential community in Goose Creek. Carnes Crossroads, developed by Freehold Communities®, is one of a small number of Agrihood neighborhoods nationwide prioritizing sustainable agriculture practices and recreation.
