About

Ground Up is more than a school — it’s a movement to help Diasporan Africans and local growers build farms that heal the land and earn in dollars. We teach organic, regenerative farming fit for West Africa, delivered weekly through an easy-to-use app. Join us to grow boldly, earn globally, and farm with purpose.

🌱 Life-Centered Farming

At Ground Up, we teach you to build farms that honor all life—from the soil up. This means working with nature, not against it. Our method nurtures thriving plants, animals, and people while preserving the earth for future generations. It’s food with integrity, grown in rhythm with creation, not chemicals.

♻️ Truly Organic by Design

Organic isn’t a label—it’s a way of life. At Ground Up, we teach you to grow clean, chemical-free food by design, not default. From composting to natural pest control, every method we teach is rooted in nature’s intelligence. You’ll build a farm that feeds people well and earns in dollars—without poisoning the land.

💛 Peaceful Productivity

Farming shouldn’t break you—it should build you. At Ground Up, we promote systems that reduce stress and create sustainable success. Learn how to grow more with less effort through smart design, calm routines, and daily joy. Farming can be profitable and peaceful when your work flows with the land.

🙏 Faithful Stewardship

Your farm is more than a business—it’s a calling. We teach stewardship that goes beyond profit, rooting your mission in care, responsibility, and gratitude. Whether you’re farming a backyard or acres of bush, Ground Up helps you manage your resources with wisdom, purpose, and a long-term vision for impact.

About the Founder

Hi, I’m Oluwatooni Oyeyemi — a farmer, personal development coach, and lifelong learner passionate about cultivating goodness in life, business, and the land.

I hold a degree in Environmental Biology from Canada and a Master’s in Production Animal Science from Australia. I launched Switzerland’s first indoor farm for African and Asian vegetables, supplying high-end clients like the Marriott Hotel.

 

Since moving to Nigeria a year ago, I’ve built Fresh & Fair Farms — an organic farm delivering fresh produce to homes, restaurants, and stores. We’re Nigeria’s first commercial supplier of free-range organic eggs and pork, backed by over ₦100 million in local and international investment.

I founded Ground Up to help diasporan Africans return home, farm with purpose, and build truly organic, profitable farms without the usual guesswork.
