Sounds like a swerve in plans that fits you well and meets your goal to regenerate the planet. Welcome to California! Check out Marin Land Trust and Cal State Chico's regenerative ag program. They might have some insights on farms.

Congratulations on this important and pioneering work to have more consumers nourish their bodies with responsibly-sourced food. Per your ask, would love for you to check out Cofo Provisions, a passion product I founded after needing collagen protein to repair my joints and muscles while a cyclist, yet I found most collagen is from bovine hides not sourced sustainably. We're the only USA sourced marine collagen brand that is MSC certified and we make the collagen from upcycled fish skin (MSC certified Pollock) from our partner Alaskan fishery. https://www.cofoprovisions.com/pages/sustainability-matters Thank you!

Paul, I read your post and am excited by your ask. I'm the founder of HRVSTS and like to respond to your request. We're the "AirBnB" of indoor vertical farming. What we're doing was featured on Vertical Farm Daily (https://www.verticalfarmdaily.com/article/9446977/the-airbnb-of-indoor-farms-modern-fresh-food-distribution-using-indoor-farm-as-a-service/) and the Vertical Farming Podcast (https://verticalfarmingpodcast.com/episode/s5e64-growing-agtech-by-supporting-small-farming-farming-as-a-service-with-hrvsts-ali-daniali).
