Farm School is an immersive weekend experience on the sixth-generation Landers Family Farm in Cooper, Texas. Each gathering invites guests to reconnect—with the land, with purpose, and with themselves—by stepping into the rhythms of regenerative farm life.

In a world racing ahead with technology, Farm School offers a return to what’s real. On the farm, there are no perfect answers—only intuition, persistence, and the courage to trust your own sense of direction, even when it means defying convention.

From early mornings in the fields to evenings around the bonfire, guests experience the authentic flow of farm life. Welcome to Texas—we look forward to hosting you.

The Farm

Situated on 2,000 acres in Delta County, Texas, the Landers Family Farm has been a stalwart in the region since the 1880s raising grass-fed cattle and growing row crops such as cotton, sorghum, wheat, soy, and corn. Under Scott’s leadership, the farm is transitioning from conventional farming to regenerative practices, returning to the ways of his forefathers.

THE TEAM

Scott has spent his whole life and career obsessed with water, and, by extension, food (which is mostly water, after all) in various capacities. From starting as a water engineer in Boston, to running a successful restaurant consulting business, Scott traveled the world, only to ultimately return to the family farm as its steward in 2024. Scott brings experience and a passion for creating timeless systems to the farm, where he is returning to the regenerative practices of his great-grandfather’s generation, now integrated with the power of modern technology. His family has been farming in Delta County for nearly 150 years and he’s proud to continue their legacy.

Kristen Barnett, Facilitator

Kristen met Scott when they worked together at Dig Inn, a farm-to-table restaurant chain. In the years following she would go on to start multiple companies as she navigated the hustle of life in NYC. Eventually, she sold a company and shut down the other as she sought a more purpose-driven chapter professionally. In her subsequent explorations, she finally visited Scott’s family farm and it was then that she knew they had to work together to bring more people out to experience the farm.
