3-Year Shared Harvest, Pencil Design Incubator & Cost-Plus Buyout Architecture
Participants begin their journey by submitting hand-drawn pencil plot designs tailored to their specific passion—whether that is specialty cut flowers, native pollinator habitats, or gourmet mushroom cultivation. When a landowner selects a design, a specialized 5-person cell is deployed to execute it over a 3-year shared harvest program, educating participants into complete system operators. At term completion, the landowner has the option to exercise a cost-plus buyout, proving our systems design and funding the next cohort.
Cell deployment, fire-buffer clearing, biochar integration, and initial pencil-design layout implementation on site.
Cross-training rotation, pop-up micro-business market stands, and peak agricultural yield management.
Full operational handover readiness, system auditing, and cost-plus sell-back evaluation for permanent farm adoption.
Select a track below to explore how individual participant passion projects scale into landowner-selected, 3-year operational modules.
| Track Name | Setup Labor | Weekly Labor | Est. Gross Revenue | Return / Labor Hr |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 🌸 Specialty Flowers | 45 Hrs | 12 Hrs/wk | $6,500 – $9,000 | $18 – $25 / hr |
| 🐝 Pollinator Corridors | 60 Hrs | 6 Hrs/wk | $3,500 – $5,500 | $16 – $25 / hr |
| 🍄 Gourmet Mushrooms | 50 Hrs | 8 Hrs/wk | $8,000 – $12,500 | $31 – $48 / hr |
Note: Actual returns scale across the 3-year shared harvest cycle as soil biology matures and cell efficiency increases, directly lowering input costs prior to the Year-3 buyout.
Participants draw custom micro-plots for high-value cut flowers that thrive in biochar-amended soil. Landowners review the pencil sketches and sponsor the layout, while the 5-person cell manages bed preparation, irrigation staging, and pop-up farm stand floral bundles.
Bed framing, biochar blending, drip grid installation.
Lumber, drip parts, compost, bulk biochar, tubers.
Succession sowing, harvesting, hydration/bundling.
Participants design perimeter pollinator strips that double as fire-buffer fuel reduction zones. Utilizing cleared biomass converted to biochar, these corridors support native bee populations while protecting the farm's core infrastructure.
Brush clearing, slash processing, trenching, plug planting.
Native seed mixes, perennial plugs, tool caches, kiln supplies.
Invasive weed suppression, moisture checks, fire safety trims.
Participants map out wood-chip and slash inoculation beds using post-wildfire clearing debris. This turns hazardous waste into gourmet or medicinal mushroom production units managed directly by the cell's cross-trainees.
Log drilling/waxing, chip bed excavation, spawn layering.
Spawn blocks, plug spawn, cheese wax, shade cloth, misters.
Humidity regulation, shade adjustments, flush harvesting.
Model the Year-3 buyout option for a landowner taking over permanent operation of the established cell setup.
Trailer, kiln, tool caches, super-sack inventory.
3-year establishment and setup hours.
IP, systems design, and R&D reinvestment.
When all three tracks (Pollinators, Mushrooms, and Flowers) are deployed on the same site, they form a closed-loop ecosystem. Waste streams become high-value inputs, cutting total setup labor by 25% and maximizing net returns per acre.
Wood-chip and log beds convert clearing debris into high-value gourmet mushroom flushes.
Feeds Track 3 (Flowers)Spent mushroom substrate enriches soil beds for high-density cut flowers shielded by perimeter pollinators.
Closed-Loop CompleteSimulate the combined operational output, total seasonal yield, and turnkey buyout valuation for all three tracks stacked together.
Kilns, shared drip grid, wash stations, tool caches.
Optimized cell establishment hours (115 setup hrs total).
Combined baseline yield across all 3 tracks (~$22,500/yr).
