Project-Level Plan & 1 Month of Consultation

$1,500.00

Starting a farm can be exciting and overwhelming. Beginning with a project-level plan is a great way to begin work using a phased-approach. Project-level plans are a helpful tool for establishing a project-level review processes with partners prior to executing projects on the ground and are an invaluable resource for organizing teams of workers or volunteers, and estimating labor, plant and material costs. Many of our clients use this service to gain momentum and confidence in: crop and irrigation design, land prep, plant establishment and installation, and maintenance.

We co-develop our plans with land owners through a iterative process. The plan includes 1 month of consultation via phone or email. ( In-person consultation can be arranged at a small additional price).

Starting at $1,500. Please email: regenerativebydesign@gmail.com for a quote.
