Putting our Seed Round Money to Work: Three high value areas of investment and why Thrive and Grow Farms is special#1 Thrive's Turn-key Regenerative Farm ModelWe have created a proven replicable system that paves the way for small farming entrepreneurs to live their dream of making a great living farming their land. We are now ready to apply this model to our turnkey real estate and farm business development program!Land Development and our Turnkey farm program:People can purchase one of our turnkey farming operations, a fast pass to becoming an agricultural producer. Guides and manuals: Like any business, a fully developed business plan is key to success. This is especially the case with a farming business where a vast array of procedures are involved in producing an agricultural crop and taking it to market. We have developed valuable intellectual property in the form of guides and procedures manuals which can be easily adopted by farmers both in purchasing farms we have developed as well as starting their own. Farm model testing: Once we finished developing our turnkey farm model guides, Tommie then applied our program on his own land. He began with our base turnkey farm model of 1/4 acre with an expansion opportunity up to 1/2 acre. As of December 2022, Tommie has been farming using this model for 1 year. Tommie worked the program and gathered meticulous data. The results are in! Yields and profitability are more than 2-fold higher than our conservative projections. Continuing to farm just the 1/4 acre, Tommie will be in the black and have recuperated all of his startup costs including labor, materials, equipment, and even a $35,000 well in just 1.8 years! An incredible ROE (return on equity)!Here is the one-year testimonial video at Moonlighter Farm! Bringing it all together with our turnkey farm development program Our turnkey farms create value through real estate and farm business development. We will be taking these 32 acres of raw land and turning it into 4 individual farms with infrastructure such as utilities, roads, home sites, and farming areas. Upon completion these properties will be actively producing and selling food through our network and for our value-added agricultural products.2 Year Projected Financial Impact from Seed Round Funding*: ARR (annually recurring revenue) Includes turnkey farm business with land sales developing and selling 4 small farm/homestead per year and DIY startup program sales.

Additionally, it is been through the reflections of our mentors, friends and family that we have been able to see this process to the point where we are ready to bring on investors. Special thanks to Startup Tucson for the support and guidance they have provided, and also to our mentor Kent Adams whose vast experience in our field has yielded invaluable guidance, reflections, and insights that we would have been hard pressed to find anywhere else.

   - Hi Paul! It is not uncommon for people to start small commercial farms in urban backyard spaces. It really depends on your goals. One can generate economic value out of growing for calories to reduce household food expenditures, and that can be considered a successful project.

Otherwise, the question becomes, how much net income does the project need to produce in order to be worth it? This is going to vary from person to person, and every space has an upper limit. One way to maximize output in small spaces is through enclosed environment agriculture. We have a great example of this on our demonstration farm where we have a very successful commercial grow operation that is less than 500 sqft!
- Q: We like what your doing. Organics is our thing, we do self contained organic hydroponics, I think you might be interested, let us help you.
