Farm & Ranch Consulting
This is where we put ideas into action. Creating an approach tailored to your land’s needs and your dreams. Through consultation, analysis, and implementation, our team offers long-term partnership, co-creating a plan for optimal ROI grounded in regenerative practices.
Wilding Program
Wilding is a long-term regenerative agriculture strategy to reconnect lands and ecosystems across the United States. At its heart is the Wild Grid, a 50-year vision to transform 65 million acres of land into thriving, biodiverse, interconnected corridors that weave together farmland, conservation areas, and private and public lands.
Bison Program
Bison are central to the restoration of ecosystems and the communities that have depended on them for generations. Through two complementary programs, we are working to revitalize bison populations, strengthen Indigenous food systems, and build a viable bison market across the country.
MAD! is an ecosystem of organizations working together to create the regenerative revolution in agriculture.
We work from heart to head, poetry to science, financing to markets, and soil to shelf. Our ecosystem of organizations ensure that our farmer partners have the financial (Mad Capital), connective (Mad Markets), and strategic (Mad Agriculture) support they need to thrive.We meet farmers where they’re at in their journey as they transition to regenerative agricultural models.
From The Field
Mad Agriculture is built on a singular mission: to create a regenerative revolution in agriculture. Yet beneath that mission is an even larger vision, one that orients everything we do. We are working toward an Earth where land, sea, and people thrive together forever.
In this effort, we weave diverse forms of art, spirituality, science, and policy to amplify farmer stories, showcase the vitality of regeneration, and invite others to join the movement.
STORY
In an era of skyrocketing land values and systemic barriers in agriculture, two visionaries, Ian McSweeney and Phil Taylor, are leading transformative efforts to reshape the future of farming.
STORY
Farming has a PR issue. It’s never been harder to become a farmer, and even more difficult to become a young farmer. Industry forecasting into the future with rapidly unpredictable weather patterns is leaving younger generations of farmers with very little support.
FILM
Halee and John WePking’s relationship to their land and growth within their community is a tale of unexpected life changes and mentorship — when their experienced teacher Paul Bickford passed away in 2022, Halee and John immediately were thrust into a position of leadership and responsibility.
Our Farmers
Mad Agriculture’s support has improved my quality of life. Through their ability to share resources my business has created new markets for local organic farmers, created new products for community businesses to sell, and therefore invested in the resiliency of local food systems and rural communities. Mad Agriculture does more than provide assistance to farmers, they are a catalyst in a greater movement that seeks to create a world in which clean water and wild spaces can exist alongside local food and agribusiness.
Mad Agriculture understands that stewardship is about long-term care, not just outputs. Their support helps small farms restore land, pay livable wages, and recover balance after disruption. By showing up for the unglamorous, necessary work of regeneration, Mad Agriculture makes it possible for farms like ours to keep going.
Working with Mad Agriculture has been a game changer for Wonderful People Microfarm. They supported us in securing funding for our wash/pack station, offered thoughtful technical assistance with crop planning and business development, and connected us to an incredible network of farmers and resources. Their commitment to farmer success and community is real, and we’re deeply grateful.
Mad Agriculture has improved my farm business' viability by providing valuable advice on farming techniques, business structure, and access to resources to regenerate the land.
A special thank you to Mad Agriculture for suggesting this path and for holding such a steady belief in what we are building. It means so much to me that ZAFA’s vision was seen and supported in this way, not just as a business effort but as a reflection of our shared values in land stewardship, farming, and community.
None of the work that we do would be possible without support from groups like Mad Agriculture. We started this business with nothing, and having very little debt wouldn’t have been possible without Mad Ag’s support. That continues to push us to keep going.
