Stage 0 is underway — survival crops on one irrigated acre, solidarity pricing, founding members enrolling now. Everything below is what comes next. Each project activates when enough members signal demand. Your enrollment and your interest directly determine what gets built and when.
Stage 0.5 — Fall 2026First Expansions
The Bean Share
A full second acre devoted to protein and nutrition: five dry bean varieties, sunflower seeds for fat and oil, lentils for quick-cooking protein, hull-less pumpkin seeds for zinc and magnesium, plus greens and grain amaranth. This completes what the Potato Share starts — together, they form a nutritionally viable year-round diet.
- Dry Beans (55%): Black Turtle, Pinto, Cannellini, Cranberry, Calypso
- Sunflowers (15%): Mammoth Russian, Hopi Black Dye — fat/oil source
- Lentils (8%): Pardina, Crimson Red — cooks in 20 min, no soaking
- Pumpkin Seeds (7%): Styrian hull-less — highest zinc of any plant food
- Greens (5%): Chard, spinach — calcium that Acre 1 lacks
- Grain Amaranth (5%): Complete protein, gluten-free
Per-share annual output: ~55–73 lbs dried beans, 10–15 lbs sunflower seeds, 5 lbs lentils, plus greens and seeds.

The Egg Share
Pastured laying hens producing fresh eggs daily on pasture and farm scraps. A dozen eggs per week, year-round. An egg so fresh the yolk stands up like it's proud of itself — deep orange, not the pale yellow of a factory egg. You'll taste the difference the first morning.
Fresh protein from animals you can visit, on land you help tend. Egg share members can participate in chicken care work-share shifts — and yes, your kids will name the chickens.

Wildcrafted Mushrooms
Outdoor, wildcrafted mushroom cultivation on the farm — log-grown shiitake under the trees, wine cap and oyster mushroom beds in shaded woodchip rows, lion's mane on hardwood stumps. No grow rooms, no climate control, no fluorescents. Mushrooms grown the way the forest grows them, on a working farm, in season. Lion's mane seared in butter until the edges crisp. Oyster mushrooms with garlic and thyme. The kind restaurants charge $18 a plate for, fruiting from your own watershed.
We're looking for a Mushroom Cultivation Lead to develop and run this operation.

Spring & Wild Foraging
Stinging nettles in March. Big-leaf maple blossoms in April. Wild blackberries in July. Acorns and hazelnuts in fall. The farm sits on land that already produces food before we plant a single seed — and most of it goes uneaten because nobody knows it's there. Foraging walks for members, seasonal harvests added to share boxes, and field guides for what to look for at home.
Currently in season on the farm: nettles (high-protein spring greens) and maple blossoms (edible in bulk, sweet and floral).

Food Preservation Program
Fermentation, canning, dehydrating, and root cellaring workshops. Plus preserved foods as part of CSA boxes — think lacto-fermented pickles, dried vegetable mixes, potato flour, and fruit preserves from our wild blackberry hedgerows.
We're looking for a Food Preservation Lead to co-develop and run this program. This is a leadership role with Sustainer-level membership plus revenue share from workshops and product sales.

Meat Chicken Batches
Customer-funded pastured broiler batches. A roast chicken dinner where you know the field the bird ran in and the farmer who raised it. You fund the batch, we raise the birds, you pick up your chickens. Direct, transparent, local.
Local Beef Partnerships
Share partnerships with regional ranchers. CSA-organized bulk beef purchases at below-retail prices through collective buying power.
Expanded Wildcrafted Mushrooms
Scale from oyster to 4-species outdoor production: shiitake on hardwood logs, lion's mane on stumps, wine cap in shaded woodchip rows. Year-round availability through species succession, not climate control.
Water Storage Expansion
From 300 gallons to 3,000+ gallons. Full irrigation resilience for the 2-acre operation — drought-proof food production.
Full Food Sovereignty
Seasonal Pasture-Raised Pork
Heritage breed pigs on pasture rotation. Pork shares processed at a USDA facility.
Micro-Dairy (Goat Shares)
Small goat herd for raw milk, cheese, and yogurt. Herd share model for legal raw dairy access.
Full-Diet CSA Bundle
Potato Share + Bean Share + Egg Share + mushrooms + preserved foods + meat — one subscription for a complete food supply.
Seed Library + Food Forest
Perennial food production: fruit trees, berry bushes, nut trees. Plus a community seed library for home growers.
Shape what gets built
Every expansion activates based on member demand. Your enrollment and your interest on the waitlist directly determine what we build next. The more people who show up, the faster we grow.
