RainDance
As the first collaborative farming community in Colorado, RainDance balances the traditions of agriculture with the necessities of a modern lifestyle. Celebrating the rich agricultural history of the region, residents live in the farm among functional fields and orchards, sharing the produce of 50 acres of cultivated landscape. Four distinct districts celebrate the seasons, embodying winter, spring, summer and fall through unique landscape elements, plant palettes, street names and farm crops. Agrarian patterns bring the farming style to the heart of the community, and pedestrian-friendly public spaces embrace the hospitality of a classic small-farm town with farmer’s markets, produce stands, harvest festivals and other “agritainment.”
