🌿 SEED & SOCIETY™
AI ECO MICRO-RESILIENCE CAMPUS
A Replicable Rural Blueprint for Families Seeking Land, Food, Housing, and Security
A 10-acre Eco-AI learning center that gives intentional families a replicable blueprint
This campus is our working prototype — a place where families can see simple, realistic systems for food, housing, and income that create generational stability on even 1 acre.
Explore the campus build plan below
Who This Campus Is Built For
Seed & Societyâ„¢ serves intentional families who want generational wealth, stability, and security outside fragile systems. Many families we serve are:
Priced out of homeownership in cities
Concerned about rising food insecurity
Supporting children and aging parents
Exhausted by unstable income and layoffs
Craving land and simplicity but unsure where to start
They have homesteading fantasies, but need a blueprint that actually works for real families with real responsibilities. This campus exists to provide that blueprint.
Why This Model Is Needed Right Now
Families across the U.S. are facing overlapping crises while new opportunities emerge. We sit at this intersection.
The Crisis
  • Households with children saw food insecurity climb to 17.3%, the highest rate in ten years (Source: USDA Household Food Insecurity Report 2024)
  • National median home price exceeded $420,000 in 2024 (Source: National Association of Realtors 2024)
  • 40% of Americans considering a move in 2024 cited housing affordability as their primary driver (Source: Zillow Consumer Housing Trends Report 2024)
  • Many rural areas face challenges with lower average wages.
  • Layoffs contribute to job instability and reduced flexibility for many workers.
  • Homelessness rates continue to be a growing concern across the U.S.
The Opportunity
  • Rural land costs $1,000–$5,000/acre (Sources: USDA ERS Land Value Analysis; NAR 2024)
  • Alternative housing options are often significantly more affordable.
  • In 2025, 31% of Americans planning a move preferred rural counties—nearly double pre-pandemic levels (Source: Washington Post Mobility Analysis 2025)
  • Technological advancements, such as AI, are simplifying complex tasks like farming.
  • Sustainable farming practices can enable significant food production on smaller plots of land.
  • The rise of digital and remote work opportunities enhances the economic viability of rural living.
Seed & Society™ is building a replicable micro-resilience model that addresses food insecurity, housing costs, family burnout, and income instability — together.
Where We Are Today
Although our property spans 10 acres, only about 1 acre is used as our dedicated food and agriculture zone — proving families don't need large landholdings to create real security.
1
13 Garden Beds Established
Including intensive rows + 2 no-till plots
2
20 Fruit Trees Planted
Creating first layer of our small-scale food forest
3
Water Access Installed
Ready for upcoming irrigation + sensor systems

Everything here is being built slowly, intentionally, and with full transparency — exactly what families need to replicate in their own lives.
Affordable Housing Families Can Actually Build
The campus will include three different structures, each serving a unique purpose. Families will be able to evaluate cost, comfort, build difficulty, utilities, mobility, and long-term sustainability.
Geodesic Dome
Energy-efficient, adaptable, and extremely affordable
Tiny Home
Code-friendly, familiar, and highly replicable
Travel Trailer
No-construction mobile option families can implement immediately
Why They Matter
Income-Generating Short-Term Rentals
Located near Tennessee state park. Projected: $45,000–$65,000+/year combined, demonstrating an income model families can replicate
Demonstration Models
Families can walk through and stay inside each structure, gaining firsthand experience
Immersive Learning Spaces
Weekend intensives and retreats teaching food growing, AI tools, preservation, and digital income

Bonus Demonstration: Our family home is a modified manufactured home, demonstrating financing paths, renovation options, off-grid upgrades, and multi-generation potential. This gives families four total housing models to learn from.
AI-Assisted Growing on a Small Footprint
Our agriculture zone covers only 1 acre — intentionally designed to show families what's possible without owning large land.
Established Infrastructure
13 garden beds (2 no-till), 20 fruit trees creating food forest Phase 1
Planned Installations
High tunnel and greenhouse with AI soil + moisture sensors
AI Workflows
Crop planning, orchard layout, pest identification, growing calendars, harvest planning, yield forecasts
Future Additions
Agriculture drones for mapping, irrigation sensors, automated watering systems
These tools flatten the growing curve dramatically — especially for families with no agricultural background.

What This Campus Makes Possible
Our AI eco micro-resilience campus demonstrates a complete system families can replicate:
Affordable Land Pathways
Low-Cost Housing
AI-Assisted Food Systems
Digital Income From Anywhere
Multi-Generation Living
Long-Term Stability

The power of this model is that it scales down
What we demonstrate on 1.5 acres can be replicated on 1 acre, ½ acre, or even urban backyards. This is the blueprint families have been looking for.
🌿 Digital Learning Ecosystem
A scalable set of tools that help families learn land, food, AI, and income systems from anywhere.
Digital education is a core pillar of the Seed & Society™ AI Eco Micro-Resilience Campus. Our guides, systems, and frameworks help families build stability through land literacy, AI, food production, and parallel income — with clarity, simplicity, and real-world action.

About Makeda
I earned my GED at 16, attended 22 schools, and worked three jobs to pay my way through college. I know what it feels like to grow up without stability, without generational wealth, and without a roadmap. Now I'm a mother raising my children on a mortgage-free 10-acre homestead in rural Tennessee, while working with tech daily.
I built this blueprint, because I needed it. Now I'm sharing it with families who need it too.
