I've been wanting this theme for a while though I don't have completely specific plans. More recently, I've played with DHD and sent my established decorator on a vacation to Mt. Komorebi. I'll probably rotate to different households as my schedule allows.
In terms of farms, I had one farm at Rustic Residence with a greenhouse. It's inhabited by an elderly Lucas Munch who runs it as a family hobby farm. He's a vegetarian who eats his own meals with veg so he was an early adopter of this style. I also installed a swimming pool. While he will probably continue his farm, he was always off on his own. I could see him competing in garden contests.
About the pack, I'd look at the world at first to get a sense of it. I'd look over the households living in the world but I'd probably move in someone new to an available house to learn the pack. That may be someone moving from another world like San Myshuno to start farming. I also have a household that is half-British, so it may be that they would move there. They have been living in a download that has a cottagey look but some functional issues and small hallways. I could see moving them and turning their current lot into something else.
I would customize the village over time. The main thing is that we haven't actually had a world like this. I turned StrangerVille into a dusty rural town but it's one without a lot going on. For this, I'd explore the pack and then develop the village over time. I would roughly relate it to Glimmerbrook which is like a hamlet.
