What is the Living Farm Course?

The Living Farm Course is a complete online farm course with nearly 500 lessons that equip growers with systems that will greatly improve their farm and personal life by offering current real-world solutions to every grower's daily problems.


This is not just a course that sells content on systems or how to grow.

It's a course that offers weekly mentorship, coaching, and support throughout the growing season.

Who Is Your Mentor?

RAY01816

First and foremost, I, Ray Tyler, am a Husband and a father of 6 homeschooled children.


I have been growing produce here in West Tennessee since 2009 and farming professionally since 2010. I've built my farm, which is currently making over $600,000 on just one acre. Providing my family our sole source of income, including three other team members and their families.
My love and passion for growing nutrient-dense food for my family and others has driven me to this day. While not farming, I am mentoring others to help them solve their unique problems, which will allow them to achieve their visions and goals.


Since 2012, I've been teaching and sharing with people locally and now globally, and the systems I've developed have worked for me.


In 2010, along with my wife Ashley and our first two very young daughters, we launched Rose Creek Farms with no land ownership and only $150 in our bank account.


We had just a few simple goals with which we built the farm...

Our Farming Goals

  • Leave the Land Better than the Way We Found It.

  • Create a Farm That Is Family-Focused and Would Provide an Opportunity for My Children to Be a Part of It If They Wanted It.

  • Grow Produce for Our Family and Sell the Rest to Our Local Markets.

  • Create Cash Flow. No Business Can Last Unless It Has Cash Flow.

  • Make a Profit.

A Message From Ray:

Since our first year of farming, a lot has changed in my family and farm, but my founding principles and simple goals have not.

Every week, I am in the game of growing produce, perfecting the health of my soil, and always searching to improve my systems and keep up with the ever-changing market outlets that I face.

I am working in today's world, not yesterday's old, outdated ways of doing business.

The 2024 mentorship program is a weekly Zoom call where you can bring any questions or problems that you have each week throughout your season with planning, crops, scaling sales, business systems, or anything else you may need help working through.

Since every farm can be radically different, I believe that offering this program can really help keep you motivated and inspired and help you grow your farm business.

Mentorship can help turn your goals into reality. 

Each call will be every Monday at 3 pm CST. Each week will be limited to a small group of growers, ensuring you have time to discuss your questions.

This course shows how I run my farm, and this will give you the systems and tools you can apply to your farm.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Here are some questions that people tend to ask about The Living Farm Course!

There are over 500 detailed lessons and growing that cover everything from seed to store, plus all the systems and details that make a farm successful.

Yes! I add 3 new lessons weekly. Because I am currently farming 52 weeks a year in an ever-shifting climate and economy, I make sure I add new content that is currently making the farm successful.

Yes! Trials are a big part of my farm's success. I cover my process in the weekly farm walks.

A farm walk is a video of me showing crops on the farm, showing what we are growing that week, what I am prepping for, what I am thinking about, what kind of trials I am doing, what kind of problems I am solving and what kind of changes I am making on the farm.

This is a raw lesson on what a farm looks like on any week of the 52-week growing season. This will give you a current look into what my farm is growing.

The weekly farm walks are generally 15-25 minutes each, depending on the season and how many crops we are growing.

The mentorship is a one-year program. After the year program has ended, you can sign up for another year if you like.

If you pay for lifetime access, it's yours to keep. If you only subscribe to the monthly membership, you'll have it on a "per month" basis for as long as you pay for it.

I grow on the edge of growing Zone 7b and 8a. My systems and methods for growing a profitable business apply no matter where you grow in the world. The unique growing systems I utilize for growing vegetables are adaptable to any climate with intense heat and humidity.

Yes, I extensively cover how to manage pests of all kinds. You may have different pests than I have here on my farm, but the principles and approach to pests are adaptable for any region or size of the farm.

Once a week, you will receive a link to a live video call via email, where you can bring any questions or problems you face.

Many growers face many challenging situations and problems that are very unique to you as a person and to your microclimate and market streams. You cannot watch a video, read a blog, or read a Facebook post and get solutions perfect for your problems. This is where the mentorship program is of high value.

Often, I work with growers who face challenging growing problems that they are struggling with, and I can help them with weekly ongoing solutions that may help.
Many growers face challenges with labor and building a team. This is another area where I have many years of experience and can mentor you, along with providing unique options for you and your contextual issues.

The mentorship calls are 1x a week except for holidays and certain days of the year.

Yes, you can message me anytime, and you can ask me in real-time in the mentorship calls and take your time to cover your unique questions every week.

Yes, I cover how I do this. This does not mean you will be able to duplicate this in your first year or even in five years of growing. 

Do not be misled. If you are looking for a get-rich-quick business, farming is not for you. 

My approach to farming takes HARD WORK, risk, capital, and your ability to create systems that work for you. Many other factors, including your micro-climate, the team that you can build, your ability to select market streams to sell in, and your aggressive mindset on business, will also be a major factor in your level of success

Yes, I have over 75 PDFs you can download and keep on your computer forever.

Yes, soil management is one of the most important topics I cover.

Yes, I cover my approach and principles to creating a good program for building your own unique program.

Yes, I cover my approach and principles to creating a good program for building your own unique program.

I have a complete course on how to grow in Tunnels that you will love!

I cover more than 50 different crops, not counting all the many varieties I grow.

Not at this time. Lettuce is one of the most important crops on my farm. I feel it was best to include everything in one place to give you a complete picture and systems for a complete farm.

Not at this time. Currently, most of my production is undercover in High-Tunnels or Cat Tunnels. This has been very important to our overall success, given the amount of rain, oppressive summer heat, and negative 20-degree winters we may face. Tunnels are a vital piece of our farm, and it's essential to include them in the big overall picture of how our business works.
