About Mike Thompson
Six generations of farming. One decision to do it differently.
$100 of your adoption goes directly to Mike Thompson —
the day you adopt.
Mike didn't set out to farm regeneratively. He noticed it
was easier to plant into ground that still had living roots
in it. He kept going because it saved him money. Then the
soil started changing. Water stayed longer. The land got
more resilient. Six generations of Thompson family farming
in West Texas, and this is the chapter where it all starts
to turn.

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.
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.
What we're doing about it.
Creekside helps move capital to farmers earlier—so they can adopt regenerative practices now, not later.
“I wanted to support something solid I could actually stand behind. This feels genuine, and I'm excited to see where it’s going.”
