Orenda Pastures

(or-en-da) — a spiritual force believed by some cultures to be present in all people and things, enabling them to influence the world around them.

Join us in building a regenerative agricultural project on 25 acres of land in Lake City, South Carolina. By observing nature and working with the landscape, we aim to build food systems that both improve the health of the land and produce nutrient-dense food for the community.

Orenda Pastures is proudly built on a Bitcoin standard.

The Farm

Regenerative Agriculture

Regenerative agriculture works with natural systems rather than against them. Instead of monocultures and chemical inputs, we use intensive rotational grazing — moving cows, chickens, and sheep across the land in patterns that mimic nature. Each species plays a role: cattle graze, chickens follow to spread manure and manage parasites, sheep maintain browse. The land rests and recovers between rotations, building soil biology and sequestering carbon with every cycle.

Between pastures, we're interplanting fruit trees, nut trees, and native species that promote biodiversity and build soil over time. The long-term vision is silvopasture — productive livestock grazing under a canopy of food-bearing trees. A system that gets more productive and more resilient every year.

Our Project

25.14 acres in Lake City, South Carolina. We're building an integrated system of animal agriculture, silvopasture, and perennial food production.

  • Intensive rotational grazing — cows, chickens, sheep, pasture pigs
  • Productive interplantings of fruit and nut trees throughout pasture
  • Fruit tree nursery and native plant propagation
  • Low-tech mushroom cultivation
  • Timber harvesting from existing wooded acreage
  • Farm stays, classes, tours, and retreats

Where We Are Today

  • 25.14 acres secured
  • Well drilled
  • Temporary power established
  • Driveway and access in
  • ~6 acres of cleared pasture ready
  • Additional acreage reclaimable
  • Barn shell construction begins April 6

What's Coming Next

  • Barn completion and electrical
  • Permanent fencing and water systems
  • First livestock on pasture
  • Initial tree plantings (silvopasture)
  • On-farm housing for farm operations
  • RV/camping sites and yurt platforms
  • Community events and farm tours
Sound Money

Built on a Bitcoin Standard

Orenda Pastures operates in dollars — we buy materials, pay for labor, and sell products in USD. But our treasury saves in Bitcoin. We believe that the value you create through hard work should be preserved, not eroded by inflation. Bitcoin is the tool that makes that possible.

A farm is a long-term project. Trees planted today won't bear fruit for years. Infrastructure built this season serves the next decade. We need a savings vehicle that matches that time horizon — one that can't be debased, frozen, or inflated away. That's Bitcoin.

How It Works

  • Revenue comes in as USD from farm product sales and memberships
  • Operating expenses are paid in USD
  • Surplus is converted to Bitcoin and held in the farm treasury
  • Bitcoin is redeployed into USD only when needed for capital improvements
  • No complex financial engineering — just honest work and sound savings

We're not making a speculative bet. We're choosing to save in money that can't be printed. The same way we build soil that compounds over time, we save in money that does the same.

Common Questions

What's farm credit?
It's money you spend at the farm. Meat, eggs, produce, whatever we're growing — your credit covers it. No expiration.
What does "lifetime discount" mean?
Every purchase you make from Orenda Pastures is discounted at your tier rate, permanently. That doesn't expire.
When can I start using my credit?
When we start selling. We're building infrastructure now — barn, water systems, pasture. Your founding membership is what makes that possible. When production starts, your credit is waiting.
Can I visit the farm?
Yes. We'll host members on the property. Details coming as we build.
