Resources to help you
and your family farm

We get it. The dairy and cattle industries aren’t what they used to be. Consumer habits are changing rapidly and the demand for meat and dairy products is decreasing. All while BigAg continues to thrive, and small farms feel the negative effects. Buckeye Pastures is here to connect you to resources to help transition out of animal-based agriculture and offer assistance to care for the cows once used for dairy or beef.

Transitioning

You have the land and love farming, but must find a way to provide for yourself and your family. If you’re researching your options on what you can do, you’ve come to the right place. We have partnered with some incredible organizations to help get you started.

A farmer led the developed Animal Outlook’s Farm Transitions program to help animal farmers convert their facility to grow plants.

dairy farm transition is an initiative backed by Miyoko’s Creamery dedicated to helping a dairy farm shift to grow regenerative crops.

The TransFARMation project helps farmers meet the increased demand for plant-based alternative products by transitioning their operations to plant crops.

The Future of the Cows

For some, these animals living on your land are part of the family. If you are transitioning or looking to retire, we would love to discuss options to care for the animals that have provided so much for you in the past years. Our funds raised will go to helping farmers like you keep these well-loved cows on your land fed and healthy so you do not have to worry about the costs. Our next step in fundraising will be to purchase pastures to give you another option for the animals’ retirement.
