Fox Point Farms "Agrihood" Community To Bring Organic Farm, Brewery & Truly Farm-To-Table Restaurant To San Diego

February 17, 2023

Described as an "agrihood" community, Fox Point Farms will have more than 200 residential units, an organic farm, a brewhouse and a true farm-to-table restaurant when it unveils later this year in San Diego's North County. 

From century old American homebuilding company Shea Homes and developer Nolan Communities, Fox Point Farms is an incoming, multi-faceted neighborhood being constructed in the Encinitas area of San Diego's North County. The residential community sits adjacent to a planned 5.5-acre working organic farm operation, which will include a two-story farm-to-table restaurant with its own onsite 10-barrel brewery, farm stand, community green, event space and more. 

"Fox Point Farms will have a farm, event space, wedding venue, community green, farmstand, restaurant, beer/wine/coffee production facility, woodshop, and ceramics studio," explained Nolen Communities managing partner Brian Grover. "We are going to operate everything ourselves and will not be bringing in any tenants or partners. Our chef is confidential at this point, but his restaurants are very well-known throughout San Diego County. We will be opening San Diego's first true 'farm-to-table' restaurant - you can watch the food grow in the field while you eat it off your plate. Hops grown on the farm will be used to brew our beer, and spent grain from the brewery will be fed to our chickens. Our coffee beans will be grown on our farm and a farm across the street. Our community green will host weekly musical events and family movie nights, and our event space will host regular classes in yoga, meditation, breathwork, dance, art, and ceramics."
Fox Point Farms community will span approximately 21.5 acres off Quail Gardens Drive, just west of the Encinitas Ranch Golf Course, and will house a total of 250 new residential units, including a mix of for-sale cottages, carriage units, townhomes, and apartments. Of these units, 40 will be set aside as "very low" income (at or below 50 percent of area median income) affordable residential units. 

Within Fox Point Farms residential community, there will be an edible landscape walking trail with citrus and nut trees, an outdoor farm animal area, community gardens, picturesque seating areas, and an approximately 6,000-square-foot recreation center with a fitness center, pool, barbecue grills, fire pits, a bocce court, golf simulator and movie room, and more. There will also be an outdoor community library, dog park and other social spaces. 
Fox Point Farms aims to fully unveil by December 1, 2023 at 1150 Quail Gardens Drive in San Diego's North County city of Encinitas. For more information, visit foxpointfarms.com.
