Services

A comprehensive audit and roadmap to guide your farm from its current state toward full ROC eligibility — grounded in 30+ years of hands-on farming experience.

We begin with a full soil health assessment, land-use audit, and stakeholder mapping. From this, we build a phased 24–36 month transition plan aligned with the Regenerative Organic Certified™ framework — identifying the specific agronomic, social, and animal welfare practices that must evolve at each stage. Benjamin's North American base gives EU clients direct insight into where the global ROC market is heading.

End-to-end guidance through the Regenerative Organic Certified™ application process — from someone inside the Alliance.

As Educational Program Manager for the Regenerative Organic Alliance, Benjamin works at the heart of the ROC certification system. From pre-assessment gap analysis to final inspection preparation, he manages the entire application process — including documentation systems, staff training, and direct liaison with the certification body — with unparalleled insider understanding of what examiners are looking for.

Full design and construction of integrated ecological farming systems — from greenfield rural operations to urban rooftop farms.

Unlike most consultants, Benjamin designs and builds the systems he recommends. Through Top Leaf Farms, he has designed and constructed integrated ecological farming systems across North America — including highly productive urban rooftop farms in the SF Bay Area. This service covers site assessment, system design, infrastructure specification, contractor management, and operational handover for new or transitioning EU farm operations.

Specialist consulting for urban food businesses, city-edge farms, and rooftop growing operations seeking productive, ecologically integrated systems.

As one of the leading voices in urban agriculture in North America, Benjamin brings a unique depth of experience in designing and operating highly productive integrated urban rooftop farming systems. This service is tailored for EU municipalities, food businesses, and developers exploring urban food production — from feasibility and design through to operational systems and market integration.

Connecting your ROC-certified operation to the European and North American buyers actively seeking verified regenerative supply.

Using his network of procurement leads at major EU and North American retailers, food brands, and B2B ingredient buyers, Benjamin identifies and facilitates introductions to buyers aligned with your farm's output. This includes market positioning, premium pricing analysis, contract structure review, and co-op formation support where relevant.
