MORE THAN A FARM.
IT'S A BIO-DIVERSE MASTERPIECE
OPENING IN 2026
The centerpiece of Westrow is a 2-acre, sustainable, working farm with a lively orchard. This productive amenity will supply our restaurants, residents and our farmer’s market with fresh food and beautiful views of seasonal change.
Growing season at the farm will occur year-round, using organic/regenerative practices to grow a multitude of vegetables, fruits and herbs. Additionally, we will partner with the best and brightest local vendors to expand our offerings, including those specializing in honey.
About the Farmer
Erich Schultz had a few career paths before becoming a farmer, farm designer, and consultant. In college, the man behind today’s biointensive Steadfast Farm in Mesa, Arizona, studied criminal justice before working in computer and medical equipment sales. With no design experience, he then got a high-end commercial and residential outdoor design firm to take a chance on him. “I had natural design and sales abilities, and was a pretty quick learner,” he says nonchalantly.
The economic downturn in 2008 however, led him to a new calling, Urban Farming. Erich became farm manager at Agritopia, a planned community surrounded by a 21-acre agricultural site that he helped design. Erich managed the Agritopia Farm for 5 years before creating a new urban farm from scratch, 20 miles down the road from Agritopia, known as Steadfast Farm.
