Your donation will spark real change in our food and farming system.
There is no better ROI than the benefits gained by investing in the farmers who feed us and steward our soil.
Every dollar goes directly to directly to farmer cohorts, keeping the course free to farmers and investing real dollars in the farmers who are dedicated to community well being and planetary health.
The alumni said they would not have been able to afford this program on their own, but it was worth multiples of their time and effort.
And we took that feedback to heart.
At $5,000 per learner, your sponsorship provides invaluable business education to these farmers, fostering their success and, in turn, our future. By sponsoring a farmer, you are not only investing in their growth but also in the well-being of your community, your local economy, and the planet.
Your investment:
● Empowers Farmers: Provides essential resources, mentorship, and time to exceptional graduates of early farming incubator programs, with 3-5 years of experience.● Grows Business Skills: Equips farmers with advanced business strategies for long-term success.
● Initiates Mentorship: Connects farmers with experienced mentors who provide personalized guidance.
● Connects Resources: Offers comprehensive resources tailored to the unique challenges of small to medium-sized farms.
Your Sponsorship Provides a Farmer With:
● 7 days lodging and food at leading regenerative farms and ranches
● Time away from the farm in a community of peers to focus deeply on next steps
● Top caliber business school education, exploring core principles of mission-driven entrepreneurial leadership and impact communication
● Opportunity to learn from and collaborate with experts such as Will Rosenzweig from UC Berkeley’s Haas School of Business, Anna Knight of Old Grove Farm, Kathleen Merrigan of Arizona State University, Emma Jagoz of Moon Valley Farms, and Jesse Smith of White Buffalo Land Trust.
● On-going peer platform engagement and asynchronous learning
As a sponsor of $5,000 and above, you are invited to:
● A gratitude event in Sonoma county this spring, with chef Ari Rosen full of delicious farm-to-table dishes and fellow funders that you will not want to miss
● An invitation to join the graduation presentations and lunches for the January cohorts, in Healdsburg, California on the 10th or Carnation, Washington on the 25th
And of course, a return you can’t measure — a healthy planet full of healthy food for all grown by successful climate-smart farmers stewarding their land regeneratively
