Plan
Lusentia Integrative Wellness is a Georgia nonprofit organization creating a regenerative wellness sanctuary — a healing oasis that integrates organic food growing, aquaponics, goat and chicken husbandry, medicinal herb cultivation, meditation gardens, and community wellness programming for underserved populations in Atlanta and beyond.
We are seeking 6–20 acres in northeast or northwest Georgia (Morgan, Putnam, Oconee, Oglethorpe, Pickens, or Lumpkin counties) on a lease or partnership basis, with an option to purchase when our funding is in place. We are a mission-driven team of three neurodivergent and highly sensitive founders who have spent decades developing holistic wellness methods and are now ready to root them in land.
We will steward the land with deep care — growing food regeneratively, raising animals humanely, and building community. We are not developers or speculators. We are healers seeking a home for our work. We would love to speak with any landowner open to a thoughtful, long-term partnership with a community-rooted nonprofit.

Desired Transitional Agreement
Description of Desired Transitional Agreement
Lusentia Integrative Wellness is a Georgia nonprofit with 501(c)(3) status pending (EIN: 41-3176997). We are seeking an initial lease arrangement — ideally 2–3 years — with a formal option to purchase built into the agreement. This gives us time to establish our programs on the land, build our grant funding pipeline, and move toward ownership once our capital campaign is in place.
We are open to creative arrangements including below-market lease rates in exchange for land stewardship, conservation-aligned use agreements, or a phased partnership model where the landowner remains involved in the property's mission. We have no interest in development or resale — our goal is to put down permanent roots and steward the land for community benefit for generations.
We are a serious, values-aligned partner, not a short-term tenant.

Livestock
Additional Information on Produce or Livestock Needs
Our production goals are intentionally modest and community-centered rather than commercial. We plan to grow organic vegetables, fruits, and medicinal herbs primarily to feed our community programs, support food security for the populations we serve, and demonstrate regenerative growing practices as part of our wellness education curriculum.
Our aquaponics greenhouse will serve a dual purpose — producing food and functioning as a living educational exhibit for community members learning about sustainable food systems.
Our small livestock — goats and chickens — will be raised humanely and integrated into our regenerative land management approach. Animal care will also be part of our therapeutic and educational programming.
We are not farming for commercial profit. Every pound of food grown on this land will serve our mission directly.
Preferred Equipment and Infrastructure
Equipment and Infrastructure Details
We are starting small and will not require extensive infrastructure from day one. Our most essential needs are fencing for small livestock (goats and chickens), access to water for an aquaponics system and gardens, basic electricity, and a barn or covered structure that can serve as a gathering and program space. A greenhouse is strongly desired but we can build one over time if not already present. We are prepared to invest in and improve the land and its infrastructure as our funding grows — any improvements we make will remain with the property.

Farm Education/Training
Additional Info on Experience/Education
Lusentia Integrative Wellness is at the beginning of its land-based farming journey. We do not yet have direct farming experience, and we want to be transparent about that with any potential land partner.
What we do bring is deep commitment, a clear vision, strong community roots, and a regenerative philosophy that will guide everything we grow. We plan to start very small and deliberately — a kitchen garden, medicinal herbs, a small flock of chickens, a few goats, and a modest aquaponics setup — and expand only as our knowledge and capacity grow.
We are actively pursuing education through the Georgia Cooperative Extension Service, GA FarmLink resources, and relationships with experienced farmers in our target counties. We are open to landowners who want to be part of our learning journey, and we welcome mentorship arrangements as part of a land partnership.
Our strength is not farming expertise — it is mission clarity, community trust, a dedicated founding team, and the intention to steward land with care and reverence for the long term.
