Agrivillage co-housing community creation through farmland conservation with Katie McCamant and Dave Boehnlein

In this episode, we explore the inspiring story of Rooted Northwest, an agrivillage in Arlington, Washington that is transforming a former dairy farm into a thriving co-housing community. With over 85% of the land conserved as pastures and forests, Rooted Northwest weaves together two villages and a collectively managed regenerative farm.

Join us for a behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to bring a visionary project like this to life—from assembling co-founders and shaping new county codes, to creating a supportive framework for farmers stewarding the land.

We’re joined by returning guest Katie McCamant, a pioneering co-housing leader and development consultant who helped introduce the concept to the U.S., alongside Rooted NW co-founder and permaculturalist Dave Boehnlein.
