StarWalker Organic Farms is a third-generation family-owned Certified Organic, Certified Humane, and Regenerative Organic Certified farm at the base of the Marble Mountains in Northern California.
First established in 1970, the farm covers over 3,000 acres of land and produces organic hay, grain, cattle, and pork. In 2020, they expanded to offer direct-to-consumer meat products and organic jerky.
StarWalker Organic Farms employ sustainable and regenerative practices like rotational grazing, minimal tillage, and biodiversity.
In early 2024, StarWalker Organic Farms acquired a processing facility that can help support them and other local ranchers in bringing their meat products to market, especially as demand for regenerative and organic proteins grows. Preserving and growing a regional meat processing facility also reduces travel time for the animals, a more humane and less stressful end to their lives. Securing a lease and hiring new staff, the company sought working capital to purchase equipment and cover costs while the production scales.
Capital from Advance Climate is designed to enable StarWalker Organic Farms to substantially grow its revenues by increasing the capacity to process its livestock and earn revenue from processing that of other farmers.
