Invest in Your Local Soil, Reap the Harvest
Soil Shares Rooted in Stewardship
At The Stalk Market, we’re transforming the way you connect with your food by focusing on the foundation of life: the soil.
By investing in a Soil Share, you’re not just supporting local land stewards—you’re backing regenerative practices that rebuild the land, sequester carbon, and foster climate resilience.
IN RETURN
you’ll receive regular dividends of fresh, nutrient-dense food while actively contributing to a healthier planet, a stronger community, and your own well-being.

How It Works: A Closed-Loop System
At The Stalk Market, when you invest in a Soil Share, you’re stepping into a holistic system that regenerates the land, strengthens your community, & nourishes you with fresh, nutrient-dense dividends.
1.As an investor, pick an investment tier for the season.
2. Investments are allocated to Soil Stewards for regenerative land management.
3. Investors reap the rewards from the by-products of healthy land (like meat, compost, & community).
4. Food scraps return to farms for pigs to digest & fertilize soil.

Dividends: The Gift of Regeneration
Similar in structure to a herdshare, meatshare, or CSA, but this is a Soil Share.
Soil Shares give back a little bit of everything healthy soil produces - like nutrient-dense food, healthy communities, and a thriving planet.
Our Shareholders put the emphasis on the ecological service provided by Soil Stewards, rather than the commodification of food as a product.
Not Producers. Stewards.
Pilot Program of Steward Supporters
This will be our first pilot year.
We need Supporters that are willing to trial this endeavor with us, share their feedback, and be flexible when things don't go exactly according to plan.
We're not looking for customers. We're looking for Steward Supporters.
We hope you might be one of them.
