I’m a scientist turned farmer seeking a land share agreement. I come with a built-in work team that is fueled by the mission of ending food apartheid and feeding the community with fresh, beautiful, and delicious produce. I bring hands-on experience in organic growing methods, permaculture design, and small-scale farm management. I’m comfortable with planning crop rotations, managing compost systems, and using low-impact tools and techniques. I also have skills in community outreach.

Goals, Values, Vision
We’re looking for land we can grow into a regenerative farming co-op centered on food access, education, and community care. Our vision is to build a diversified, no-till organic farm that supplies fresh produce direct to consumer as well as to a community kitchen operating on a pay-what-you-can model so everyone can access good food with dignity. We are currently operating in Missouri on a land trust but have run out of space to expand and are looking to build this vision in Michigan.
In the near term, we’re focused on expanding our vegetable production.. As the farm grows, we’d like to integrate livestock, starting with pigs, both as a soil management tool and as part of a more holistic farming system. Longer term, we see this farm becoming a member-owned cooperative and a regenerative agriculture training space.The goal is for it to function as both a working micro-farm and an incubator for aspiring farmers, offering hands-on learning around sustainable growing, cooperative business models, and direct-to-market sales. We want this place to support a strong local food system while also helping new farmers find their footing.
My background is in direct-to-market produce farming, and together we bring experience building and growing nonprofits, including grant writing, fundraising, and organizational development. Those skills help us think long-term and build something that’s financially resilient while staying rooted in community needs. We value transparency, collaboration, and strong relationships, both with the land and with the people connected to it. We have the capacity to live off grid and value living a simple life.
At the heart of everything we do is a commitment to learning. I’m always open to feedback and believe good farming is built on observation, adaptation, and care. Environmental stewardship and community relationships are central to our values, and we’re looking for land partnerships that align with that mindset and support long-term, regenerative use of the land.

Organic Practices
We use no‑till organic practices that prioritize soil health, biodiversity, and long‑term regeneration. We do not use synthetic inputs and rely on compost, cover crops, mulching, and diverse rotations. As the farm grows, we plan to integrate livestock for holistic soil management.
