ACTIVATE – Entry Course

ACTIVATE is your gateway to GrowWise farm management. In this introductory course, we kickstart a fresh mindset and get you excited about what's possible. Are you feeling stuck with conventional methods, but also hesitant about change? ACTIVATE meets you where you are – no jargon, no judgment. We start by exploring why GrowWise works, sharing inspiring real-world results (like farms that reversed land degradation and improved profits at the same time. You'll learn the core principles pioneered by Allan Savory, which show how managing the whole ecosystem leads to long-term success. This isn't just theory; it's packed with examples of down-to-earth farmers who turned things around by working with nature instead of against it.

BUILD – Core Course

Build your holistic management skills: design a grazing plan, optimize farm finances, boost resilience and profits, and gain confidence in every decision. Course Overview: Now that you've got the basics, it's time to roll up your sleeves. BUILD is the heart of the GrowWise Ground pathway – a comprehensive core course that gives you practical tools and know-how to turn holistic principles into action. If ACTIVATE was about "why" and setting your vision, BUILD is about "how" to make it happen on your farm. Don’t worry if you haven’t taken ACTIVATE; we’ll briefly review key concepts so everyone starts on solid footing. Then we dive deep into planning and skill-building. In BUILD, you’ll learn to work smarter, not harder, by aligning with nature’s rhythms and using a proven decision-making framework. We cover everything from the soil up: how to observe and improve ecosystem processes on your land, how to plan livestock grazing in harmony with grass growth, and how to manage finances in a way that secures your farm’s future. Throughout, we keep things grounded and farmer-friendly. BUILD is informed by Alan Savory’s decades of experience and the real-life success stories of holistic managers worldwide. For example, you'll discover how one rancher doubled his carrying capacity in 10 years by changing his grazing management and how you can apply the same principles to grow more grass with fewer resources. This course shows you that regenerative farming isn’t a lofty dream; it’s a practical, step-by-step process you can implement at any scale.

EMBODY – Integration Journey 10 Weeks

Embody holistic management in a 10-week integration journey: turn concepts into daily habits, refine your grazing plan, and transform how you farm and live. Course Overview: Learning new ideas is great – but true change happens when you live them day by day. EMBODY is a guided 10-week program that helps you integrate everything you've learned into your routine until it becomes second nature. This is the capstone of GrowWise Ground, designed for those ready to fully commit to a holistic way of farming and living. EMBODY includes full access to the ACTIVATE and BUILD courses (so if you skipped those, or want a refresher, you have them at your fingertips). Over the span of 10 weeks, we will walk together through applying holistic management on the ground: making real decisions, observing real outcomes, and gently rewiring your habits and mindset in the process. Think of EMBODY as part course, part coaching journey. Each week has a theme and a set of activities. We know farmers are busy, so these activities are flexible and practical – they are woven into your daily life on the farm. One week, you might be tasked with doing a farm walk at sunset, simply observing and journaling what you notice in your land (building your presence and observation skills). Another week, you might focus on family decision-making, where you and your partner sit down to apply holistic decision testing to an upcoming choice (like whether to diversify your crops, for example). There are no lengthy meditation sessions or esoteric rituals here – no breathing exercises or anything that would feel uncomfortable or “out-there” for a down-to-earth farmer. Instead, we use down-to-earth methods: reflection prompts, quick quizzes, field exercises, and practical planning tasks that fit into your normal schedule. The goal is to gradually internalize the habits of holistic management through practice and feedback.
