Grow where you are sown.

At OhmS, seeds sown in the fields are the canvas for personal growth, especially post-trauma intervention, as we co-create a journey toward feeling whole again. We focus on the insight and wisdom paralleling lessons of growing your own food from ancient, heirloom seeds. Restoring the body, rejuvenating Spirit, replenishing soil microbiome as we detoxify harsh chemicals and celebrate fruits of our labor of love. Maybe you seek peace. To get away. Immerse in nature and discover natural rhythms that make sense and feel solid. Or maybe you're looking for a way into a future where growing food, processing food and selling homegrown yum on a market scale equals independence and freedom. Whatever your goals, wherever you see possible, we will pair you up with a mentor and teach you how to realize your dreams of a new YOU.

Begin where you are now.

Every vocational training intensive candidate expresses their end goal in order to determine best personal path for achieving measurable goals. From simple goals like more time in nature to advanced goals like raising food to sell 3 months from now, we design a custom mentorship session meeting you where you are.

Ask! (Accelerator Soup Kitchen)

  • Fast track Farmer-Chef mentorship
  • Focus on value added farm product recipes
  • Expands farm revenue and chef profitabilty
Coming in 2026! What would it be like to know that, as a farmer, if you had a bumper crop ready to go, you could call up a chef and they'd help you make a recipe where you could design, cook, process and label your products for revenue later in the season when farming slows down? Plus! We'd buy your fresh soup ingredients to feed our community and then hook you up with a place to sell every last bit of your value-added farm product?
Accelerator Soup Kitchen! is a working 'proof of concept' empowering localvore conscious chefs to source ingredients primarily from regional farmers while mentoring these farms to capitalize on value-added farm products that exponentially increase farm revenue. Concept kitchen trials show compelling evidence for productivity, affordability and meeting the convenience factor of end consumers by delivering ready-to-heat, farm fresh meals. ASK! intends to feed a Village. For FREE, by integrating social giving into the business model of these ambitious, innovative foodpreneurs.
