Transforming America’s
Food and Farming System
Through A Revolutionary
Patronage Network

Donate. Sign up friends. Win BIG rewards!

Transforming America’s food and farming system through a unique patronage network, Thriving Farms Initiative lets you support regenerative farms and get rewarded with FREE local farm products—potentially exceeding your donation’s value. Here’s how it works:

Become a Patron
Join our no-obligation waiting list for donors. Once we gather enough patrons for a cohort, your donation—combined with hundreds of others—will directly fund a multi-generational U.S. family farm with a cash gift. Our experts will guide the farm in regenerative practices, community impact, and family sustainability. Track the progress in real time with your personalized Farm Impact Dashboard™, auto-provisioned via your Thriving Farms Network Builder™.

Earn Rewards
Sign up three friends to join via your Network Builder™, and unlock 100% of your donation as vouchers for local regenerative farm products—or donate them to a charity/food bank of your choice. Add more patrons and earn 20% of your original donation in vouchers per new recruit, with no limit. Your downstream network can do the same, multiplying benefits for farms nationwide.

Join the Movement
Patrons: Sign up below, answer a few questions, and we’ll notify you when it’s time to donate. Get updates on your cohort and shepherded farms in the meantime.
Farms: Apply below if you’re a regenerative farm, transitioning conventional farm, or new operation seeking direct-to-consumer success. We offer $50,000–$300,000 annually for five years—no debt, equity, or subsidies—plus expertise to help you thrive.
