We’ve surpassed our first goal of $250,000 raised and are now at $266,680 from 264 incredible investors. This milestone reflects the trust and belief in our mission to transform America’s food system. Thank you for being part of this journey.A Movement to Change the Health of AmericaFrom The Farm has the potential to be a significant disruptor in the food industry. By prioritizing farmers and ranchers as it should be, we’re creating a movement to empower producers while connecting consumers directly to their food. This mission resonates with everyone we’ve shared it with—they agree it’s exactly what our country needs.We’re not doing this alone. Over the past year since launching our MVP, we’ve collaborated with incredible organizations and individuals who share our vision:Food Forest Abundance, founded by Jim GaleRedmond Real Salt, part of Redmond Inc.Modern HomesteadersChef Mollie and Ryland Engelhart from Sovereignty RanchThese partners and advocates inspire us daily with their commitment to sustainability and health.This year, I also attended an investment conference in Denver, where $20 billion in investments was represented to back regenerative agriculture. The farm-to-table movement has undeniable momentum, and From The Farm is at the forefront of this change.A Vision for the FutureImagine an America where 40 acres and a farm becomes the norm again—where families reconnect with the land, and first-generation farmers, ranchers, and homesteaders thrive. From The Farm is here to make that transformation possible.Our platform works like Airbnb but is fully dedicated to farmers, ranchers, and food producers. By removing middlemen, we ensure that:100% of food dollars go back to the producers.Our efforts focus on expanding technology, improving logistics, and reaching more consumers.Our investors share in the growth of a trusted platform for sourcing food and other life essentials directly from American producers.This is why it’s so important to raise money from the public first. By delaying major private equity investments, we can maintain control of the vision and ensure the marketplace remains built entirely for the benefit of family farms and ranches. This is the answer, and it’s worth protecting.Gratitude for the MovementTo everyone who has supported us—thank you:To our investors, for believing in this mission and helping us reach these milestones.To our customers, for ordering directly from farmers on FromTheFarm.org.To those testing our software and sharing valuable feedback to improve it.And most importantly, to the farmers and ranchers who trust us to help them succeed.We know the risks you take every day, and we promise to honor your trust.

I passed the torch to them, and now they’re preparing to establish Utah’s first Savory Hub in 2025, a critical milestone in desert restoration and regenerative agriculture.Bobby Clayson and His Team at CrofterWhile Crofter is a competitor in the same space, I must say, Bobby and his team are honorable men doing incredible work.

At the time, it was the most significant project in Utah to bring stability to the food supply chain.Henry led and funded this ambitious project, all while his 20-year-old sons ran a complex, professional, and successful concrete company to support his vision. His entire family is incredible, and you can tell the man by his fruits.Henry is a man carrying a mountain on his shoulders, yet he wakes up every day to fight for what he believes in. His dedication and leadership are an inspiration to everyone working to rebuild our nation’s food systems.A Final NoteNations live and die by their agriculture, and ours is terminally ill.
