We create healthy, enduring places that cultivate connection.
Farmer D & Co. guides the strategic development of regenerative farms, land-based communities, and experiential destinations.
WHAT WE DO
As a stewardship-led advisory, planning, and design practice, we partner with landowners, developers, and organizations to bring land-based projects to life.
We provide hands-on strategic support throughout every phase of your project:
Discover
Solidify your vision, goals, and program.
We identify opportunities and risks for your project by assessing the full ecological, cultural, regulatory, and operational context. Bring an initial vision, or we’ll build a strategy from scratch.
Design
Turn your vision into a workable plan.
We create integrated plans and designs — from working farms and landscapes to agrihoods and community master plans — balancing financial, operational, and ecological priorities.
Develop
Build for long-term success.
We lead the build-out, implementation, and early operations of your project, from infrastructure to hiring, onboarding, and management support.

Why Farmer D & Co?
Lived Experience
We bring decades of hands-on experience building, operating, and stewarding land-based projects. Applying that experience, we help plan and execute fully functional farms, landscapes, and communities.
Big-Picture Perspective
We look beyond individual sites to understand how projects shape development patterns, food systems, and ecological health. This perspective is critical for healthier, more resilient landscapes and communities.
Strategic Collaboration
We bring a long-standing network of planners, designers, and technical experts. Ensuring continuity at every step, we move complex projects forward by aligning the right partners, team members, and stakeholders.
Regenerative Practices
We apply regenerative practices that restore soils, support biodiversity, and strengthen local landscapes and livelihoods. Working with natural cycles and closed-loop systems, we create resilient, productive places rooted in their local context.
