Here is an interesting article I ran across on Twitter about suburban development and agriculture going hand in hand. The article says this is something of a trend. Combining a small subdivision and a farm is an interesting concept. It might be the ultimate in the trend toward locally grown food. This might be a really good way for organic producers to go. You would have a ready labor force for the hand weeding. A farmer could have a built in seasonal labor force and save on that problem by trading labor for produce.
This does not sound like a 60's commune type of lifestyle. It sounds more like condo living with farming and garden for recreation. It might be worth a try near the city.
