These are the farmers
behind your acre.
When you adopt an acre, you're not backing a fund or an offset program. You're backing a specific farmer, on a specific piece of land, doing the specific work of making soil healthier.
Adopt an Acre.
Choose a regenerative farm type and directly support a real acre of working land.
$100 from every acre adopted goes straight to your farmer immediately. The rest retires a verified carbon credit on your behalf.

Why Farmers Need Support Now.
Regenerative farming asks farmers to invest long before results are visible.
Healthier soil takes time to build. Carbon payments, sustainability incentives, and market premiums often take 12–18 months to arrive.
In farming, that is an entire season.
- Bills do not wait.
- Equipment does not wait.
- Families do not wait.
Adopt an Acre helps close that gap by moving capital to farmers now, when it matters most.
These are the farmers
Mike Thompson
5th Generation Farmer
— Littlefield, Texas
Mike farms in West Texas, where every season brings new challenges around water, weather, and profitability. Through regenerative farming practices, he's working to build healthier soils, improve resilience, and leave the land stronger for the next generation.
When you adopt one of Mike's acres, you're directly supporting work happening on real land today—not years from now. You'll receive updates tied to Mike's farm, seasonal goods, and verified climate impact connected to the acre you're helping support.

Josh McClain
5th Generation Farmer
— Norton, Kansas
Josh McClain farms the same Kansas land his family has worked for five generations. He's also a co-founder of Creekside Carbon — because he didn't just want to farm differently, he wanted to build the system that makes it possible for other farmers to do the same. McClain Farms is where the Creekside Retreat happens every July, and where Kernza — one of the most promising perennial grains in regenerative agriculture — is being grown at real scale.
What Josh ships to you · Unlocks at 5 acres
- Kernza flour, rolled Kernza, or Kernza egg noodles from McClain farms — we'll confirm your preference after purchase.
$100 of your adoption goes directly to Josh — the day you adopt.
Zan Tomlinson
6th Generation Farmer
— South Carolina
For six generations, the Tomlinson family has farmed the same South Carolina ground while adapting to the challenges each new generation faces. Today, Zan is focused on building healthier soils, improving resilience, and leaving the land better than he found it.
His farm was recently featured in the High Plains Journal as one example of how regenerative agriculture can create meaningful outcomes for both farmers and the land. Through practices that improve soil health and long-term productivity, Zan is helping demonstrate what agriculture's future can look like..

Choose your Acre.
Pick the land. Pick the farmer. Every acre is tied to a real farm, a real crop, and a real story.
A typical carbon payment timeline:
Start
Farmer adopts regenerative practices: Cover crops planted, soil practices implemented, transition begins.
3 Months Later
Measurement & verification begins: Field data and practice changes begin being tracked.
9 Months Later
Registry review & credit issuance: Carbon credits move through verification and approval.
12–18 Months Later
Farmer finally gets paid: Traditional carbon programs often delay payment for over a year.
With Creekside
You adopt → farmer paid sooner: Your support helps move capital to farmers immediately.
- No waiting.
- No delayed payout.
- No capital held up in the system.
$100 of every acre goes directly to your farmer — the day you adopt.
The rest retires verified carbon credits on your behalf. No waiting. No middleman holding the money.
This is the gap we're closing.
Adopt an Acre helps move capital to farmers earlier — so they can adopt these practices now, not later. $100 per acre goes directly to your farmer.
