Olive Branch Farm

Nestled in the heart of the Center Grove Community in Johnson County, Indiana, Olive Branch Farm is a 23-acre retreat just 30 minutes from both the Indianapolis Airport and downtown Indianapolis. Owners Sarah and Josh Brown have long welcomed friends and neighbors to their farm for homeschooling co-ops, community-supported agriculture programs, and cooking classes. Now, they’re looking to build upon this strong foundation of connection and creativity. 

To help bring their vision to life, the Browns hired TPUDC to lead a public design charrette and develop a comprehensive Master Plan and Vision Book. Inspired by the charm of historic Indiana towns and the timeless appeal of European hamlets, the resulting plan envisions a place for multigenerational living that is a pedestrian friendly gathering place and rural retreat.

The Master Plan outlines a rich mix of uses that support sustainable living, conservation, gardening, hospitality, homesteading, the arts, wellness, and entrepreneurship. TPUDC’s Vision Book captures this vision through site analysis, documentation of the charrette process, the finalized Master Plan, and a collection of renderings to help the Browns share and advance their dream for Olive Branch Farm.
