Farmers Park Mixed-Use Development

Farmers Park is a mixed-use development for active, healthy, and engaged families and businesses in the Ozarks region. The development is anchored by the Farmers Market of the Ozarks, a venue for organic and locally grown food that attracts an average of 5,000 visitors a week. Ground-level amenities include restaurants, shopping, community gardens and a micro-orchard.

All goods and services are conveniently located within walking distance of the dwelling units. An office component was designed to achieve LEED Silver Certification and serve as a template for sustainability in the region.

The strategy of Farmers Park is simple: locate goods and services at the street level encouraging pedestrian activity and community interaction. An active pedestrian zone makes the development safe, vibrant and economically viable.

Hufft also developed the brand and identity package for the development. Because the local agriculture and farmer’s market was an essential element to the development, the logo design is a modern expression of a traditional windmill.

What are the sustainability features?
A LEED Silver project. 76,000 sf of the site is dedicated to water harvesting. Green roofs, rain gardens and bioswales remove silt and pollution from roof and surface runoff, improving site stormwater quality and quantity. A park and
orchard serves tenants, patrons and neighbors of the development.

What was the brief?
The strategy of Farmers Park is simple: locate goods and services at the street level encouraging pedestrian activity and community interaction. An active pedestrian zone makes the development safe, vibrant and economically viable.

A single-story bridge leads visitors into the adjacent Allen Fieldhouse, where Naismith perfected the game of basketball. Within this bridge, the original 451-word document is enshrined by a perforated scrim containing the more than 45,000 words that make up the contemporary rules of the game, offering visitors a way to physically experience basketball’s evolution over 125 years.
