$450 Discuss it with Dave.

Spend an hour with David Blume, discussing your ideas for your prospective project, whether it’s related to farming, land design, energy, or perhaps a unique business idea for which you want his perspective on regenerative design.

$500 Sponsor a Farm Experience Work Day for High School Students.

The students will participate in farm work, from seeding, weeding, and planting to learning how farms interconnect with the rest of their world. The donor is welcome to participate as our overnight guest.

For up to 4 participants — bring your friends and have a great Farm lunch together. Work alongside Whiskey Hill Farms fieldworkers.

$2,000 Sponsor an Organic Farmer for Regenerative Agriculture Training.

Your donation will sponsor one small-acreage organic farmer for a once-a-month, 6-month-long regenerative and organic agriculture training course. This is our fourth year conducting this course.
