Generations of hard work deserve more than hope and a rough plan. Let’s expand the horizons for your farm’s future—together.
Together, our members, staff, and partners protect family legacies, steward opportunity, and advance progress—bound not just by shared work, but by shared values. Ours is a community where farmers help farmers, wisdom is openly shared, and every voice strengthens the whole. When we gather, learn, and grow together, we don’t just shape individual farms; we shape the future of farming itself. Individually strong. Truly powerful together.
Modern farms don’t just need another strategy; they need the accountability to see it through.
At UnCommon Farms, we combine expert financial, business, and succession coaching with a high-performing network of peer farms to ensure your goals translate into real, measurable growth.
While most ag consultants focus on one or two pieces of the puzzle, UnCommon Farms brings it all together. Our membership program is built around six core pillars that we’ve found drive farm success by building momentum for your operation to grow and thrive while setting the next generation up for success.
We guide you through benchmarking, managerial decision making, and understanding your farm’s numbers before your banker does.
A thriving farm needs a plan for the future. We guide your family through succession—covering implementation, communication, and the dynamics that make a transition work.
Finding, hiring, and keeping great people is one of the hardest parts of running a farm today. We teach you the systems so you have the confidence to do it yourself.
The shift from operator to farm CEO doesn’t happen by accident. We help you build the management skills, team structure, and culture that allow your operation to scale.
Know where you’re going and how you’re going to get there. We help you build a clear, executable roadmap aligned to your farm’s vision and your family’s guiding principles.
Volatility is part of agriculture. We help you identify, evaluate, and manage the risks that could derail everything you’ve built without overcompensating.
You’re already putting in the work. Now’s the time to make sure it’s getting you where you want to go. Our membership gives you the coaching, community, and accountability to turn your goals into results that carry your farm forward for generations.
Our standalone services give you direct access to UnCommon Farms’ expertise. Our team is here to help you solve your most pressing challenges now and build toward a stronger operation on your own terms.
Gain the financial guidance your operation needs—built specifically for agriculture, available at the level of involvement that fits where your farm stands today.
Our succession planning package gives farm families a structured, professional process for developing the right entity structure and a clear transition plan.
UnCommon Farms’ Insurance Solutions connect farm operators with ag-focused crop and property & casualty coverage that protects everything you’ve built.
From streamlined documentation to precision ag data and cattle management, we help implement industry-leading farm software and make sure it actually works for your operation.
UnCommon Energy helps farm operations evaluate, apply for, and implement solar and energy offset projects, so you can reduce input costs and build a more resilient operation.
You can’t manage what you don’t measure. Designed for non-member farms, our financial services go beyond standard bookkeeping and tax prep. We help you understand what your numbers are actually telling you, so you can make smarter decisions faster.
Accurate, farm-specific financials that give you a real-time view of your operation's performance.
Strategic tax guidance designed around the agricultural calendar and your farm's structure.
Analyze your operation's performance across multiple seasons to identify strengths, inefficiencies, and growth opportunities.
UnCommon Farms serves farm families across North America. We believe that when farmers have access to the right coaching, the right community, and the right resources, they build legacies. When you partner with UnCommon Farms, you’re stepping into a proven approach.
Our team doesn't just consult on agriculture. They’re living it. As a farmer-owned organization with a farmer-run board and over a thousand combined years of hands-on ag expertise, your coaches bring real-world context to every conversation.
After nearly 60 years of helping farm families navigate transition, growth, and uncertainty, we've seen the markets, the policy swings, and the generational shifts. We're still here because we know how to adapt and what we do works.
From row crop operations to diversified livestock and grain farms, our member network spans the continent. When you're in the room, you're learning from people who are already navigating what's in front of you.
Nearly 40 trusted partners support our mission with essential products and services, from equipment and finance to crop marketing, irrigation, and more. Selected for their expertise and alignment with our values, they help equip members with the tools and connections needed to grow stronger operations.

I think we know what the end goal is now more than we ever have. I think we understand what it’s going to take to get there, and we have plans we’re putting into place that will allow us to accomplish our goals as a family—of growing and bringing back the next generation.

UnCommon Farms gives the older generation confidence in the younger generation’s management, and I think it makes that transition easier for the older generation.

We needed to change the way we ran our business. Instead of working in the business more, we had to work on it. If you have the next generation coming along and you’ve always just been the operator or the patriarch of the farm, being part of UnCommon Farms has so many benefits. There’s not only the resources; there’s the networking, there’s peer-to-peer conversations you can have. There’s a way to better your business.

We’re into this for four years now, and I’ll be honest, I’m more excited now than I was at the beginning… The more you put into it, the more you get out. The more you commit to it, the more that you follow, the bigger connections you make… I think it helps us take our operation to the next level.
