The MACA Model

How We Grow Purpose, Food, and a New Kind of Future

MACA (Make America Cultivated Again) is more than a slogan—it’s a system. A replicable, grassroots model that allows disabled individuals to start nonprofit farms, feed their communities, and reclaim their place in the economy with dignity.

🐣 Micro Farms

Small-footprint food production—built for backyards, patios, and mobility.
Ideal for individuals with limited space, mobility, or energy.

Micro farms may include:

  • Quail or rabbit production
  • Raised bed or container gardening
  • Hydroponics or greenhouse growing
  • Chickens, ducks, or other poultry breeds.
  • Single or Duel-crop mini farms (like potatoes or spinach)

📘 Each micro farm is supported with simple how-to guides, basic equipment lists, and community mentorship.

🐐 Small Farms

Larger-scale nonprofit farms with multiple animals or garden types.
These farms may donate hundreds or even thousands of pounds of food per year.

Small farms must include two or more of the following:

  • Meat poultry
  • Pigs, goats, sheep, or lamb
  • Expanded produce operations
  • Dairy processing or egg production
  • Partnerships with schools, shelters, or food pantries
  • Open their own food community food pantry

🏗️ These farms may also receive infrastructure support, like fencing, cold storage, or buildings for processing and storage.

🧠 Built-In Mentorship

MACA isn’t top-down. It’s peer-to-peer from the ground up.
Our goal is to create a growing network where experienced MACA farmers guide the next generation—helping each other avoid costly mistakes and grow faster, together.

🧺 Food With Dignity

Every MACA farm donates high-quality, usable food—not scraps, not expired goods.
We aim to support:

  • Low-income children and schools
  • Elder care programs and shelters
  • Working poor families and isolated communities

🧱 Infrastructure Ready

As we scale, MACA will connect farms to:

  • Mobile USDA slaughter & dairy units
  • Cold storage trailers
  • An online training hub with grant info and livestock care guides

💬 The Bottom Line

We’re not just growing food.
We’re growing people.
And this model works—because it starts where change really happens:
On the ground. In the hands. From the dirt up.
