In our signature online course, The Regenerative Agriculture Masterclass, I show you how to plan and design a farm that is both regenerative and profitable.
The training covers everything you need to know about clarifying your objectives, creating your design, setting up your infrastructure, choosing and running your enterprises, selling your products and managing your business.
It contains all of the strategies, methods and techniques I’ve used to build my own highly profitable and regenerative farming business on a small rural plot at 59 degrees North, and can potentially save you years of trial and error, not to mention a substantial amount of money.
I’ve taught thousands of students, many of whom have gone on to start their own successful farm and live the life they dreamed of.
This comprehensive training features more than 80 hours of instructional videos, numerous PDF’s and worksheets, weekly Q&A sessions with myself, support from a select handful of students-turned-farmers, a private participant community and a resource library.
We’re aware that everyone doesn’t have the same resources. That’s why we offer the majority of our content free of charge. The way that gets funded, though, is through those that have more resources available and can buy our books and trainings.
The Regenerative Agriculture Masterclass is only live once a year. With registration for the 2021 cohort opening soon, I’m happy to announce that we have 3 full scholarships available.
The scholarships are open to people of all nationalities, ethnicities, sexes, ages, diet preferences and musical tastes. However, since the aim of these scholarships is to make the course available to people who really need it but really cannot afford it, please only apply if that description fits you.

Hello Richard and the Ridgedale Regenerative Organic Permaculture Crew,
My name is Eric Fulda, born and raised in Silicon Valley CA, and now moving to Grass Valley California, recreate the Alta Sierra Ranch, a 32 acre, 150 year old historic stage coach stop, cattle, dairy and hay farming enterprise.
My biggest challenge to starting a farm is creating and executing a business plan that will generate enough cash flow to support the cost of the new farm infrastructure, and water, while providing the housing needed to accommodate workers and eventually families.
I plan on having a year round market garden, spring summer heirloom tomatoes, berries, fruit trees, pumpkins, flowers, and a fire resistant native plants nursery. I will also have chickens, layers and broilers, beef cattle and goats for fire prevention and cheese.
I envision Alta Sierra Ranch becoming an educational regenerative organic homestead, with a multigenerational cohousing development with up to 20+ living units for families, workers and visitors.
My organic agricultural experience started in 2005 when I helped build, manage and then teach at an organic community garden in Sunnyvale CA. Given 60 is the new 50 and 90 is the new 80, my father and I decided to buy the Alta Sierra Ranch, a 32 acre dairy and hay farm in the Northern California Sierra Foothills just outside Sacramento.
When successful, it will become a regenerative farm incubator for the area while feeding the families and workers that live on it. Your Regenerative Agriculture Masters Class is just what I need to assist in making this educational community farm and cohousing project successful.
Thanks for all your doing to inspire so many, like minded people.
Here’s my entry for the competition.
Thank you so much for sharing this.
