Rookie Farmer

Vision A multi-generational, debt-free family farm where our four young children grow up immersed in the rhythms of pasture, soil, and livestock—learning self-reliance, stewardship, and the dignity of feeding others. A thriving, independent operation that stays in American hands, never corporatized or foreign-owned, proving small-scale regenerative grazing can out-profit industrial models while healing the land.

Core Values

1. Family First – Farming is our classroom; kids learn math in pasture divisions, biology in lambing season, and work ethic before screens.
2. Independence – No corporate contracts, no foreign investors. We own or lease-to-own every acre and animal.
3. Win-Win Partnerships – Landlord gets rising land value, tax benefits, and legacy preservation; we get secure tenure and equity credit for every fence post and water line we install.
4. Profitable Regeneration – Healthy animals, healthy soil, healthy bank account. Greg Judy’s low-input system ensures cash flow from Day 1 without subsidies or bankruptcy risk.

Goals

• Year 1: 50 ewes, 1,000 broilers, 100 rabbits → $75K gross on leased land.
• Year 5: Own 50+ acres outright; children leading their own enterprises (egg mobile, market lambs).
• Year 10: Mentor two new families; zero debt; soil carbon up 2%; community staple for local, pasture-raised protein.

We farm for permanence—land, family, and freedom.
