What a difference a week can make! The mill slip went up in about 5 days -- an incredible engineering and construction feat. We can't wait to share more as we get closer and closer to making this dream a reality!

Well that was fun! Thank you to all 4,000+ riders for stopping by the farm yesterday. We had a great time showing how oats and rotational change improve soil & water, how we can work together to produce healthier foods, and why we're building an oat mill that puts farmers first!

A huge thank you to our partners , , , , & NRCS. Together we can tell a pretty cool story from farm to table!

Our field inspection crew is happy to report the oats are coming in! We love to see the lush bed of green hard at work keeping nutrients where they belong -- in our soil and on our fields.

We really enjoyed hosting an oat harvest field day yesterday! We are glad to see excitement about the Green Acres Mill and appreciate everyone's interest in making the project a reality. The conversation and questions were great -- message us, call, or email anytime with more.

No tillage here, just a nice bed of baby oats! 🥰 Look for us along I-35--we're the fields wearing all green!
