We’re building something different...

The system isn’t broken.
It was built this way.

We weren’t born into farming, and we didn’t inherit land.We just saw what was coming—exhausted soil, rising prices, and a food system built on dependence instead of nourishment.We tried doing everything “the right way.” — grants, agencies, approval processes.Door after door closed —especially for small farms, queer founders, and anyone outside the old boys’ network.Eventually, the truth was impossible to ignore: this system wasn’t designed to feed us.
It was designed to keep us compliant, dependent, and desperate.So we walked away from it.ROOTS is our response: an off-grid, community-funded farm model built outside extractive systems—created by the people it’s meant to feed.It’s not a dream. It’s a decision.A deliberate move toward a future where food, housing, and community aren’t gatekept by corporations or broken institutions.

Grown Without Cruelty

100% veganic. No manure. No chemicals,
No corporate shortcuts.Just real, nutrient-dense food grown with integrity — respecting the land, the animals, and the people who eat it.(A direct alternative to industrial ag and greenwashed “organic.”)

Built for Autonomy

Off-grid systems, source-fed water, solar power, compost loops, and regenerative infrastructure designed to stand outside corporate and governmental control.No grants. No loans. No gatekeepers.
Just sovereignty — by design.

Designed to Be Replicated

ROOTS isn’t a brand you follow.
It’s a blueprint you can build.Every system, structure, and step is documented and shared openly, so others can start their own local food freedom — without starting from scratch

Why Your Support Matters

ROOTS isn’t just a farm project — it’s a living alternative to the systems that are failing all of us.When you support this buildout, you’re helping create clean food, secure housing, and an off-grid model that doesn’t depend on unstable institutions or extractive corporations to survive.Every dollar goes directly into a real-world blueprint that other communities can follow. A system that runs on autonomy instead of debt, care instead of burnout, and connection instead of isolation.Your support makes it possible for us to secure the land, build the first off-grid systems, and show—step by step—how small communities can feed themselves with dignity and independence.This is infrastructure for a future where people take care of each other.
