Beyond Spreadsheets

Let's build your Farm Operating System — together.

For farmers ready to invest in getting this right. I map your whole operation — whatever you raise — into one connected system, built around how you actually work, and I train you and your crew to run it without me.

your Farm OS

my approach

The Trellis Framework

I build every Farm OS the same way — like a trellis: a frame that holds the whole farm up as it grows. Three parts, and the order is the point.

01 · structure

Posts

The structure you set first: your areas — operations, finance, sales, procurement, people — and the enterprises that hang off them. Set the posts, and everything has something to attach to.

02 · connection

Wires

The lines that run between every post: the shared databases every enterprise uses — tasks, projects, contacts, finances. A task on the layers and a task in the tunnel run on the same wire.

03 · growth

Growth

What climbs and produces on the frame: each enterprise's own records — harvest logs, egg counts, grazing moves — and the dashboards they feed. Log it once, and it's already in your records, your numbers, and this week's view.

You don't start with the data. You set the frame and run the wires first — so everything the farm produces has a place to live, and everything it touches already knows.

structure → connection → growth

This way of thinking stands on the shoulders of systems thinkers — August Bradley's PPV among them — adapted for the mud, the seasons, and the enterprises of a working farm.

how I work

Four principles behind every build.

The framework gives the build its shape — these give it its character. Each one is a record from my own farm, not a slogan.

01

Built on a real farm, for your farm

Everything I set up ran at Bladrika first. You get what survived a real season — not theory.

02

Farming with it fast

No big reveal at the end — you’re logging real records within the first weeks of the build.

03

I work myself out of the field

The goal is a system you run without me — trained, documented, and fully handed over.

handover · SOPs + training · then it’s yours
04

We build in the quiet season

Timed for your off-season wherever possible, so the system is ready before the rush.

how we work together

One clear path, built around your farm.

And I aim to build in your quieter season — so it's ready before you're slammed.

step_00 · 30 min · free · no pressure

It all starts with a free discovery call — a conversation, not an audit, to see if we're a fit.

About the call ↓

then, if it's a fit, the work runs in three phases

01
1–2 weeks · non-binding

Farm & Workflow Audit

I get into your actual systems and map the farm as it really runs.

Two 30-minute calls — you walk me through how you run the farm today
A full audit of your current tools and tech stack — with access where it helps
I map your enterprises, workflows, and where time and money leak

deliverable

Your Farm OS Blueprint — architecture, plan, and a clear custom quote. Yours to keep either way.

price {{ auditPrice }} · fixed · every farm
the core build
02
2–4 weeks · scoped by your blueprint

System Design & Build

Where the blueprint becomes your working Farm OS.

Built primarily in Notion, integrated with the tools you already use
Weekly iteration cycles with real-time feedback
You're farming with parts of it within the first weeks

deliverable

Your working Farm OS, tuned to how you actually work.

price custom · quoted from your blueprint
03
1–2 weeks · then it's yours

Rollout & Handover

The goal of this phase: you don't need me anymore.

Legacy data migration
Documentation and SOPs
Training for you and your crew

deliverable

A full handover — trained, documented, yours. Optional seasonal support after.

price custom · quoted from your blueprint

how the money works

fixed to start

The audit is the same fee for every farm — so I scope your build from reality, not a guess.

yours either way

It’s non-binding. If the blueprint is all you need, keep it and build it yourself.

credited back

Continue within 30 days and the full {{ auditPrice }} comes off your build quote.

no retainers · no surprises · your custom quote lands before any build begins

what you get

Everything in your hands at handover.

Not a subscription, not a dependency on me — a system you own, understand, and run yourselves.

in your hands at handover

Your working Farm OS

Built in Notion around your exact enterprises, integrated with the tools you keep.

Live dashboards

One per enterprise, plus the whole-farm view.

Your data, moved in

The records you already have, migrated and organised.

SOPs & documentation

How everything works, written down where the crew can find it.

Training for the whole crew

You and your team, able to run it without me.

The Farm OS Blueprint

The architecture behind it all — yours to keep from day one.

no subscription · no dependency · yours

…and what it lets you do, day to day

Plan the season

Crop plans, rotations, hatches — what’s coming next.

Keep every record

Harvests, egg counts, inputs, field and flock logs.

Know your numbers

Costs, sales, and what each enterprise actually earns.

See it at a glance

A live dashboard for every enterprise you run.

Run with your crew

Tasks, SOPs, and onboarding in one shared place.

Track what you own

Tools, inputs, stock, and assets — counted once.

Ask in plain words

AI that answers from your farm’s own records.

Stay audit-ready

Certification records that build themselves as you log.

All under one roof, organised by your enterprises — veg, layers, broilers, beef, orchard, whatever you run.

a fit check, before anything else

This works best for a certain kind of farmer.

this is for you if

You're serious about getting organised — for good, not for a season
You run one or several enterprises — market garden, pastured layers, broilers, grass-fed beef, orchard, mixed
You're ready to put a few hours into the build and get it right once
You want beyond spreadsheets — not another spreadsheet

maybe start elsewhere if

You'd rather do it yourself on a budget — start with my free content and templates
The season means you can't give a build any attention right now — come back when it's quieter

no hard feelings either way — the free call below sorts this out in 30 minutes

proof

The first client farm was my own.

case_study · bladrika · sweden

Bladrika runs day-to-day on the system I'll build for you.

Crop planning, harvest logs, sales, and finances — one connected workspace, built and refined across real seasons at my own market garden. It's the same architecture, the same records, the same discipline I bring to a client build.

client results · reserved

This space is waiting for the farms we build together — short quotes and real numbers will land here as they come in.

questions, answered straight

What farmers usually ask.

Anything else — bring it to the discovery call. That's what it's for.

Templates assume a workflow. A build is shaped around your exact enterprises, tools, and crew — plus training and AI agents a template can't include. Not ready for a build? Start with the templates.

No — any enterprise: pastured poultry, layers, grass-fed beef, orchards, mixed farms. The system is built around what you raise.

Completely fine. It's non-binding, and the blueprint is yours.

Primarily Notion, integrated with the tools you already rely on, plus custom AI agents and automations where they earn their place.

Roughly 4–8 weeks end to end, depending on complexity — ideally timed for your quieter season.

step_00 · where every build starts

Let's see if it's a fit.

A free 30-minute call. No pressure — you'll leave with a clear picture either way.

what it is not

Not the deep, tool-by-tool review — that's the paid audit. This call is just to see if we're right for each other.

after the call

A short PDF — my notes, a proposed way forward, and a simple yes/no to come back to me within a week.
