Consulting Services
What kind of consulting do you offer?
Kris offers hands-on consulting to farms and growers transitioning to organic or regenerative practices. With over a decade of experience in regenerative agriculture, seven years managing a certified organic training farm, and current work as a certified organic inspector, his guidance reflects both practical know-how and up-to-date regulatory insight. His focus is on site-specific strategies that actually work in the field—whether you’re improving soil health, building a grazing system, or preparing for certification.
Who is this consulting service for?
These services are ideal for beginning farmers, transitioning operations, and established growers looking to adopt regenerative, organic, or pasture-based systems. Whether you’re managing vegetables, livestock, or mixed enterprises, Kris can help guide you through the planning, execution, and certification process.
Do you offer organic certification guidance?
Yes. Kris has direct experience navigating organic certification both as a farm manager and as an organic inspector. He can help you understand the NOP standards, develop a recordkeeping system, and prepare for your organic inspection.
How are consulting services structured and billed?
Consulting is typically offered on a retainer or project basis, depending on the scale and scope of your needs. Site visits, ongoing support, and customized planning documents can all be part of the package. Contact us to discuss your situation, and we’ll build a structure that fits.
Do you provide transparent pricing?
Yes. We know cost matters. After an initial conversation about your goals and timeline, we’ll provide a clear proposal with scope, estimated hours or deliverables, and billing terms—so there are no surprises down the line.
Where do you consult?
Kris is based in Southeast Iowa and consults primarily within Iowa and surrounding states. On-site services are prioritized for regional farms, but remote support may be available depending on your needs and goals.
