Technology enabled boots on the ground

All projects receive a site visit to perform boots-on-the-ground surveying, assessment, and soil sampling. We pair site visit results with remote planning in our proprietary software, Overyield, to provide a schematic agroforestry design.

This results in a verified, geo-spatially accurate-to-plan layout to plant and manage with GPS tractors

What customers are saying…

“A lot of farmers don’t have the time or bandwidth to invest in something like working buffers, which can take months and months— all kinds of communications, emails, and documents. It was really great to have this kind of white-glove concierge relationship.”
