Mimicking Nature for a Scalable, Regenerative Future
Support Poultry-Centered Regenerative Agroforestry Farming!
The Regenerative Agriculture Alliance (RAA) is raising funds to expand regenerative chicken farming practices that can help reverse environmental harm instead of causing it. We’ve proven this can be done by mimicking natural systems. The Poultry-Centered Regenerative Agroforestry (PCRA) farming model is based on how chickens thrive in their natural habitat—a jungle-like environment—scratching the forest floor, foraging, fertilizing the soil, AND restoring ecosystems along the way.
You have the power to change the food system—support new regenerative practices, build local value chains, and directly impact the farmers who grow your food. If you believe, as we do, that our food should come from local farmers we know and trust, we’re asking for your support this Give to the Max season.
This year, we aim to raise $20,000 to reduce the $300,000+ funding gap needed to sustain and grow the Poultry-Centered Regenerative Agroforestry (PCRA) system.
Your Gift Today Fuels Regenerative Transformation.
Your support helps us keep farmers on the land and regeneration in motion through two key areas:
Farmer Services & Training – About $125K annually funds on-farm training, business planning, and mentorship for farmers in the PCRA system—and will help onboard new ones in 2026.
Small-Scale Processing – It costs $200K–$250K per year to support Stacyville Poultry Processing operations, serving more than 115 small Midwest farms.
This support ensures that the cost of running and expanding this new business isn’t imposed on the farmers who rely on it. Keeping the plant running makes local processing accessible and affordable for farmers building regenerative value chains and supports the larger local small-farming community.

About the RAA
The Regenerative Agriculture Alliance (RAA) was created in 2018 as the non-profit arm of a larger ecosystem designed to build a regenerative, equitable, and socially just agriculture sector. We are focused on scaling up a systems-level regenerative poultry solution that restores ecological balance, produces nourishing food, and puts money back into the hands of farmers and food chain workers. To do so requires a completely new supply chain that integrates grassroots organizing of farmers with physical infrastructure and other regeneratively stacked enterprises.
