Want a Viable Small Farm? Enterprise Stacking Could Be The Answer!

Farm Learning with Tim Thompson | 2 August 2025 | Back to All Videos
Can small farms thrive near cities? Absolutely – with enterprise stacking.
In this video, I visit a 160-acre regenerative farm in Jarrahdale, WA, where Alyssa shares how she turned degraded land into a profitable, diversified farm using enterprise stacking and regenerative agriculture principles.

From pasture-raised eggs to meat sheep, olives, honey, veggies, and a no-dig market garden, this farm shows how to stack enterprises for resilience, community, and profitability. Plus, discover how local markets and co-ops create strong food systems and community networks.

👉 You’ll Learn:
✔ What enterprise stacking is and why it matters
✔ How regenerative practices transform poor soils
✔ Tips for building farm-to-community connections
