Nature Farms

Learn some more about the Challenges

 

1) Breaking Free from Plastic Waste

Single-use plastics and plastic bags are the silent pollutants of our time—clogging waterways, suffocating marine life, and leaching toxins into our soil. Every flimsy bag and discarded wrapper is a reminder of a system built for convenience, not sustainability. Worse, plastic infiltrates our food chain as microplastics, impacting human health in ways we’re only beginning to understand.

At Nature Farms, we reject the throwaway culture. We champion compostable packaging, reusable cloth bags, and a closed-loop system where waste is minimized, and nature thrives. Our CFS box replaces plastic-wrapped groceries with fresh, whole foods delivered in sustainable, reusable containers. Regeneration starts with small, conscious choices—like replacing plastic with purpose.



2) Ending the Reign of Industrial Agriculture

Industrial agriculture—fueled by monocultures, synthetic fertilizers, and factory-farmed animals—strips the land of its vitality. Confined Animal Feeding Operations (CAFOs) create suffering for animals, devastate ecosystems, and flood our food with antibiotics and hormones. Meanwhile, monocropping depletes the soil, leaving fields barren and communities dependent on chemical inputs.

We choose a different path. Nature Farms is built on regenerative agriculture, where grazing livestock restore the land, polyculture enhances biodiversity, and soil microbiomes flourish. With every harvest, we enrich the earth rather than deplete it. Our Brix meter measures not just sugar content but the vitality of our food, ensuring nutrient density is prioritized over yield. Healthy land grows healthy food—and that’s what we stand for.

 

3) Rejecting the Processed Food Epidemic

Fast food, ultra-processed snacks, and sugar-laden soft drinks have hijacked the modern diet, replacing nourishment with addiction. These foods fuel chronic disease, gut microbiome imbalances, and a cycle of empty calories that leave people sick and unsatisfied.  

At Nature Farms, we return to real food—grown in healthy soil, bursting with bionutrient density, and free from synthetic additives. Our farm-to-table approach brings grass-fed meats, fresh fruits, and vibrant vegetables directly from the land to your plate. We believe that food is medicine, and by restoring integrity to what we eat, we reclaim our health and our future.

The Challenges

Ending the Reign of Industrial Agriculture

Industrial agriculture—fueled by monocultures, synthetic fertilizers, and factory-farmed animals—strips the land of its vitality. Confined Animal Feeding Operations (CAFOs) create suffering for animals, fill our food with antibiotics and hormones, and pollute nearby waterways, including drinking water for people downstream. Meanwhile, monocropping depletes and poisons the soil with herbicides and pesticides, resulting in dependence on chemical inputs and toxic runoff, which has caused the Dead Zone in the Gulf of Mexico, among other problems.

We choose a different path. Nature Farms will be built on regenerative agriculture, where grazing livestock restore the land, polyculture enhances biodiversity, and soil microbiomes and nature flourish. With every harvest, we will be enriching the earth rather than depleting it. Our Brix meter measures not just sugar content but the vitality of our food, ensuring nutrient density is prioritized over yield. Healthy land grows healthy food and healthy people — and that’s what we stand for.

SXSW Food Tank Quotes

Good Food Is Medicine

"The consensus is that we should be eating real food, we should not be eating ultra-processed food, we should be eating lots of fruits and vegetables, we should be eating lots of good fats, adequate amounts of good quality protein, and we should be eating refined starches and sugars.  It is not complicated."

Function-Dr.Mark-Hyman

Dr. Mark Hyman
MD, Physician, Advocate, Educator, Podcaster

"There is all sorts of evidence that the way we grow our food, based on how we manage soil organic matter impacts and upregulates what crops are getting.  And all those components that crops have are linked to the ecosystem, and they shift bassd on the ecology, based on biodiversity, based on our management, and ultimately that's impacting what's in our health"

"The source of greatest mortality is your diet.  What we are eating is killing us.  ... The food is medicine moment is happening .. Food is cheaper than pharmaceuticals, and for some disease states even more effective"

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I have to work on the farm?

No.  The farms employs beginning farmers and ranchers to work the land, as well as staff to operate the value-added processing activities.  The land and operations are all guided by experienced stewards.

What is the risk for my money?

Your membership money is the smallest investment and has the greatest risk.  That money is dependent on enough people showing up for the next step.  It and the subsequent loan will however be repaid with interest if we can get the project to the bond stage.

Can I visit the farm?

As member owners, you will have the right to visit the farm. However, with thousands of member owners, there will be some scheduling requirements so that everyone can have a great visit.

How will the food be sold?

Vegetable boxes will be available at the farmers' markets.  We also have plans for delivery, as well as meal kits and other value-added foods. We will be guided by member/owner input.

Overheard at SXSW Foodtank

Regenerating Farms, Revitalizing Communities

" Farmers are the backbone of the rural communities across the nation.  As the farmers succeed, the community succeeds, and as the farmers struggle, the community struggles.  Consolidation and factory farming mean that another community dies.  The grocery store shuts down, the school board looses a board member.

Josh Tranel
Farmer, Board Member of Organic Valley

"Land Stewardship is very underrated.  Farmers are well positioned to be on the frontlines of climate change and be the people who can mitigate the impacts of climate change .. 80% of beginning farmers started because they care about environmental conservation."

Michelle Hughes
CEO, National Young Farmers Coalition

"There is a massive land transfer tidal wave coming by 2030, estimated at $2.5 trillion.  If existing farmers have the ability to get out in the next bumpter crop year (and preserve their profits), they will.  We also have $16 trillion in wealth succession over that same period.  How can we keep those lands as working lands and intact as much as possible, and not allow for their fragmentation?"
