Steve Nygren former owner of the Pleasant Peasant Restaurant chain, and gentleman farmer, is the inspiration behind both the Serenbe Bed & Breakfast and the environmentally protected, 900 acre Serenbe Community. Nygren has fostered the development of ecologically sound design philosophies to build eclectic hamlets and villages surrounded by vast acreage of untouched woodland. These neighborhoods appeal to artists, writers, farmers and such, business people, single people, families, and empty-nesters. This is the creation of a real community, where people are drawn together over gardening, over cooking, over books, over art, over ideas, and yes, even over back fences. They say that if you want to change the world, you should start in your own backyard. If that's so, then Serenbe is quite a beginning. Or maybe a respectful nod to times gone by.
