7 YEARS OF R&D. NOW WE SCALE.
A farm the size of a backyard shed.
Littlest Big Farms are compact, climate-resilient growing systems designed to produce fresh food locally, year-round. We have built and tested three generations. Now we are raising $150,000 to turn the custom build into a repeatable prefab system.

WHAT THE EARLY NUMBERS SUGGEST
Small footprint. Serious potential.
These are not performance guarantees. They are early models and benchmark-based estimates informed by our prototype work. See the evidence and assumptions.
THE NEXT LEAP IS PRODUCTION
From a custom build to a repeatable prefab system.
Today, a Littlest Big Farm can take roughly 1–2 months to build and install. Our Cherry Valley home base lets us fabricate, wire, assemble, test, and stage much more of each farm before it ever reaches the customer.
That is how we move toward a target of roughly 1 week on site, with a more consistent build and a process that can scale.
More fabrication and problem-solving happen project by project.
Prefabricate and test the core before delivery.
CHOOSE THE PATH THAT FITS YOU
Four clear ways to help.
These are separate paths. Pick the one that makes sense for you.
Back the Build
Give any amount directly to From The Land or choose a campaign reward.
Give or choose a reward From The Land is a for-profit business. This is not a charitable tax deduction.Make a Tax-Deductible Donation
Give directly to Esperanza's Sanctuary through its separate Littlest Big Farm fundraiser.
Donate to Esperanza Esperanza's Sanctuary is a 501(c)(3). The nonprofit provides the donation receipt and applicable tax information.Sponsor the $60,000 Esperanza Farm
An individual, family, foundation, or company can fund all or a major portion of the nonprofit project.
Talk with us about sponsorship We will coordinate the charitable contribution directly with Esperanza's Sanctuary.Provide a Business Loan
If you would rather lend than donate, talk with us about amount, rate, term, repayment, and a written agreement.
Discuss a loan Loans are handled directly and separately from campaign checkout.
BUILT BY A SCIENTIST + AN ENGINEER
We know how to build one. Now we need to make the process repeatable.
We are Gina Oliver and Richard Hutchison. Over seven years, we have built three generations of Littlest Big Farms, grown more than 40 crop species, trained farmers and farmworkers, and logged about 49,000 founder hours building, growing, testing, fixing, and learning.
We did not spend seven years trying to make a bigger farm. We spent seven years learning how small a farm could be and still matter.Read the science, proof, use of funds, rewards, reservations, and bigger vision →
