The 25th Acre Foundation exists to restore land, train stewards, and build covenant communities that endure across generations.
This work is not public. It is simply visible.
It is being formed in its critical years, not as a finished system, but as a necessary one.
It is not open enrollment.
We are assembling thought leaders and practitioners who understand that timing is the constraint.
The Problem Is Structural
Modern agriculture was optimized for yield, not continuity. Industrial systems extract from soil, exhaust labor, and discard land when returns diminish. This is not failure — it is design.
The result: depleted aquifers, eroded topsoil, displaced rural communities, and a food system that depends on inputs it cannot regenerate.
The Constraint
Within a generation, current soil loss rates become irreversible. This is not prophecy. It is arithmetic.
The Covenant
A sabbath rhythm is not nostalgia. It is an operating principle.
— Leviticus 25:3–4
The Work
This is not a program. It is a living system:
- 25 regional farming academies across the United States, focused on regionally appropriate systems
- Interlocking seven-farm communities where one rests while six produce
- Distribution infrastructure that makes regenerative agriculture economically viable
- Patient capital that measures success in soil depth and generational transfer
Symposium I — March 18–20, 2026
A gathering for those who recognize what is coming and are willing to help shape it.
$2M Foundation Seed
What the Seed Enables
The $2 million seed establishes the foundation before the enterprise.
It funds:
- Regional research and documentation
- Academy and training framework formation
- Convening infrastructure
- System design groundwork
This seed is stewarded to ensure the work is formed as intended.
Why This Phase Matters
Regenerative systems cannot be assembled after scarcity has fully set in. They must be built while land, water, and communities can still respond.
This seed preserves the conditions required to form the work correctly.
For those considering foundational commitments:
Symposium I — March 18–20, 2026
A formation gathering.
Fifty seats. By invitation only.
Participation is secured by a $10,000 stewardship contribution.
Those present will shape the system that follows.
The Work
This is a living system, not a program, not a network.
It requires those who understand land, timing, and stewardship.
