The Spiral Farm Project

The Spiral Farm Project is a testament to the power of innovative design in revolutionizing agriculture. Its unique spiral structure, inspired by the intricate patterns found in nature, seamlessly integrates form and function, creating an efficient and self-sustaining ecosystem. This visionary concept challenges conventional farming methods, offering a glimpse into the future of food production.


The Spiral Farm reimagines how food can be grown, harvested, and distributed, utilizing groundbreaking agricultural methods that conserve vital resources like water, fertilizer and soil, maximize yields, and strengthen community bonds. It’s a shining example of how innovation and compassion can intersect to meet the world’s needs with heart and purpose.


Why Spirals Grow Better Than Rows

More than a thousand Crop Circle Irrigators provide nutrient directly to plant roots. This targeted approach ensures plants absorb nutrients only as needed, leading to remarkable resource efficiency. This innovative precision agriculture technology conserves resources, utilizing 90% less water and fertilizer than conventional field farming, significantly minimizing nutrient runoff and its associated environmental impacts. By targeting nutrient at the root, plants focus their energy on canopy and fruit production creating higher yields and a smaller ecological footprint.


reimagine how we grow food

The farms utilize dark-colored, permeable ground covers to enhance efficiency and sustainability. These covers suppress weed growth, eliminating the need for chemical herbicides, while retaining soil moisture and reducing water evaporation. Additionally, they act as heat sinks, maintaining under-canopy temperatures above 70°F at night, which prevents blossom drop and extends the growing season. Complementing this approach, crops are arranged in large, looping spirals rather than traditional rows. This spiral design minimizes weather-related damage, reduces shadowing between rows for uniform growth, and promotes greater flowering and fruit production, ultimately driving significantly higher yields.


Growing In Challenging Places And Spaces

The Spiral Farm Project's versatility and adaptability make it a game-changer in addressing the challenges of growing food in urban areas, arid regions, and other resource depleted environments. By leveraging the farms unique design and resource-efficient technologies, the project can thrive in spaces and conditions normally not suited for agriculture like food deserts, for example. This adaptability not only expands the potential for local food production but also reduces the environmental impact associated with long-distance transportation of food (food deserts), fostering a more resilient and self-sufficient food system.


Creating a safe space for community gatherings and sharing

Beyond its role as a sustainable food production system, the Spiral Farm Project envisions itself as a vibrant community space where people can gather, learn, and share. Its carefully designed layout incorporates spaces and places for people to sit and chat, pick vegetables and share their life experiences.


The farm cultivates a sense of community through workshops, educational programs, and interactive events that encourage the sharing of knowledge and experiences. From sustainable gardening lessons to cooking demonstrations and collaborative projects, the Spiral Farm Project unites people in a shared purpose. It strengthens social bonds while fostering a deeper understanding of the connections between food, community, and the environment.

Make a donation


Seeds for the Future


Your $25 donation helps us collect, store, and safeguard a diverse library of vegetable, herb, and flower seeds from around the world—seeds that will be planted in our Spiral Farms. This gift doesn’t just plant a seed; it preserves the legacy of plants for generations to come.


What your gift does:

Sources open-pollinated vegetable, herb, and flower seeds.

Preserves rare and heirloom lines to protect genetic diversity.

Stores seed lots in a climate-controlled environment.


Staying in the Loop


Your $50 donation builds and gathers Spiral Farm components like patterned ground covers, spiraled irrigation lines, Crop Circle Irrigators, pre-fertilized Root Tubes, stainless steel fasteners, assorted connectors, and programmable timers. Your gift helps power the spiral—supporting a growing system that maximizes yield, conserves resources, and operates with the harmony and precision of nature’s own design.


What your gift does:

Creates closed-loop irrigation systems that save both water and fertilizer.

Builds patterned weed suppressing ground covers.


Stepping Into the Spiral


Your $100 gift helps build the spiral farm—a sacred geometry system designed to maximize yields, conserve water and fertilizer, and regenerate the land it grows on. By stepping into the spiral, you’re supporting a smarter, cleaner way to grow food—and ensuring that every loop of the system feeds both people and the planet. With your help, we are changing the shape of agriculture.


What your gift does:

Farm site preparation.

Ground cover installation.

Irrigation component installation.

Sowing seeds / planting plants.


All donations directly support crop circle farm installations. We are a registered nonprofit organization
