Goal #1 — Pie in the Sky

This is a capital campaign geared towards raising 5 millions dollars which will help us acquire the "lower pie" of the ranch. It will also go towards restoration of the old building located in that area as well as maintenance across the ranch.

Goal #2 — Farm Dinner Fundraiser

Ticket sales go into program fundraising. Create awareness of Pie Ranch and sustainable farming.

Donor profiles — Like the mill who donates wood. Break down the budget even more specifically to create opportunities for donors to emotionally connect with pieces of the donation pie.

• $3 million big donors
• $2 million grassroots

Why be part of Pie Ranch?

Change the world. Change the way we eat, farm.

How do you do that through the Pie Ranch model? The big problem that we're solving is that people don't know where their food comes from.

How do we teach people? We target the youth. Educational programs on the farm.

Education — Education is very hands on. Pie Ranch philosophy is taught by taking people there, see the source of the food, go to the farm.

High school programs — day long activities, within a visit, get grounded on farm, get activated with physical work, harvesting, weeding, planning. Get reflective. Journaling activity. Pie preparation. Circle and share experiences, share the meal. End with pie. Overnight.

Apprentices — people learning to become sustainable farmers. And/or farmer educators. Teach students.

Internships — like apprentices, but shorter.

Public Education — barn dances, work day, potluck. Once a month, started a gopher workshop public education about sustainable garderining. What residents can do: composting, fall garden, etc. Not just people who come to Pie Ranch. How can that activity influence or region, and beyond, global. Food policy. Other work in our community.
