As this mixed-use development moves through the entitlement process, attention turns to placemaking—identifying the ideal location on the property for local legend and NFR qualifier Billy “Bud” Ford Jr.’s new farm. The development will require relocation of the existing livestock, and a promising site is emerging along the proposed trail bordering the northern property line.

The farm is home to chickens, roosters, several horses, and a friendly donkey named Tanya. Bud’s deep connection to the land makes him a living part of its history, and what better way to honor that legacy than by creating a farm-inspired amenity that brings the story of the property to life? More to come…
