About
I am building and operating a real farm as the prototype. It combines insects, animals, energy, networking, and hardware into a closed-loop system that is designed, built, tested, and iterated under real conditions.
Impact
Live.Farm demonstrates how food, energy, and infrastructure can be produced locally using resilient, low-cost systems. By proving these systems in operation, it lowers the barrier for others to replicate sustainable agriculture anywhere.
Progress
Over $1M self-funded. Built the largest poultry operation in the local area, multi-species grazing infrastructure, BSFL systems, autonomous rover prototypes, power and load-control systems, and staged five 40′ comms towers now under construction.
Team
I have ~20 years across agriculture, software, fabrication, RF, energy, and heavy equipment. I design and build systems end-to-end, tolerate long timelines and hardship, and validate everything by operating it myself at full scale.

Season totals as displayed on the platform's public accounting — not a statement of amounts paid out. V2 = Venus sales + Venus extras. The original page also broke each season down by fund drive and showed an Available (unclaimed) balance; that level of detail survives only on the preserved snapshots.
