Coordinated Cooperatives
Strong cooperative eco-sets in trios backed by collaborative groups of trained individuals in worker owned cooperatives. These cooperatives function separately or together in mutual support for healing the planet from climate change.
|
Food Forestry
Training development on worker cooperatives transitioning from current food systems to food security by new diverse forms of eco-friendly organic perennial food forest farming plus preservation and carbon sequestration.
|
Earth Restoration
Swales development, biodiversity support, water harvesting, rain capture from buildings and open waters, stream/river cleansing, clean waters and healthy food for wildlife in sanctuaries and more.

Donations of Time and Value
Reap Goodness has been given time, energy, intelligence, donations in kind, loans of equipment, loans of workspace, and much more. In a cash-bent society, these forms of donations are often overlooked. We aim to set the truth straight right now.
Fistfuls of dollars can’t replace the kindnesses that people have given in the form of references to others. These connections have enabled the program to go forward in a way that would never have happened otherwise. Anyone who has started a business understands the critical nature of making connections with others. Their businesses would never have gotten off the ground otherwise. And yet our federal government does not allow for this form of reporting. We will do so anyway.
In articles to come watch for names of individuals whose kind and valuable activities have enabled Reap Goodness to arrive at a point of world changing phenomenon. Each one of the types of donations listed above will be dwelt on in great detail, with names of individuals who were responsible for these donations and whose respect will be automatically generated.
It’s time for these donations to come home to roost.

Timm Esque
Leadership Trailblazer
The East Valley Leader Lab was recently co-founded by a decades long expert in leadership, author Timm Esque. His steadfast guidance has helped Reap Goodness keep a steady focus in what is an extraordinary journey. His unfailing calm in our sea of newness has made our journey ever more steady and successful. He comes to us via the International Society for Performance Improvement from which Reap Goodness received the 2019 Community Service Project Award. Watch for more developments in our work and keep Timm in your sights.

Heartland Trial Site Visited
In December, 2020 a group of planners experimented with a dream. They visited the site where proof to the world will take place that all land, no matter how degraded by grazing livestock, can be restored and glorified with rain capture, clean waters and food forestry. See the picture to know this land, which should be thick with fully grown trees called mesquite, is short of its nature stature.
Actually, it excited all who had gathered there for its possibilities as an example to the world. With this degraded land comes the promise of restored landscape, pond development and food forestry starting with native species that produce food, including the fully grown mesquite trees among others. Simple willingness to restart growth is not all there is. Carefully planned and taught to the world, this set of cooperatives that will be put through the trial on this land is the starting point of worldwide fast-paced restoration, done at a pace no one in the world could anticipate.
Watch here for more news in the coming year by a group of university researchers who will fill in that role and astound you at every turn!

Capitalization Plan
The time is now for development to be backed up by income from a variety of sources, sources outside of existing income. Let’s explain that a little bit further. For now, Reap Goodness has relied on mini grants from corporations each year along with personal donations from individuals, and income from sale of two cooperatives books.
In general the Heartland Trial and publication of three e-books, virtual-reality overview, and a YouTube documentary will require much larger amounts for support to change the world. From here on out a capitalization campaign will take over to create a harmonized effort to reestablish clean waters, food security for all beings and enough freshwater to support life around the planet.
It will look something like this. First, the organization will reestablish itself from its all-volunteer status to one of full-time paid staff to make this grand effort a lasting one. Continuance is dependent on three types of incoming funds; donations from individuals, foundation grants, and government supports in three areas. These areas include:
This capitalization form is called life.
The key here is to start in 2021 with the Heartland Trial. Every bit of this trial will be recorded from the time prior to arrival on site with international agreements being made by university PhD researchers from around the globe. It is this test that’s most important for the world to see and learn from. This form of capital is priceless. From the moment it begins people will start learning how to restore this planet in a hurry through cooperative efforts by people in place. What price could you or anyone place on this?

New Alliance and Interview!
We are excited to tell you about this new alliance with the international organization, Systems Change Alliance. In their own words, Systems Change Alliance connects the dots between individuals, groups and organizations working in different fields to collaborate, educate, advocate and implement positive systemic change. The three big dots? Environment, Society & Economy.
Online interview: With this new alliance announcement comes a second announcement. Reap Goodness founder, Carol Manetta, was interviewed in December, 2020. This interview by Systems Change Alliance originated from Portugal and is available on YouTube.

Current Programs
Reap Goodness is currently engaged in these programs:
- Worldwide distribution of two comprehensive e-books; Worker Cooperative People Skills, and Worker Cooperative Technical Skills. Reap Goodness offers this training for what's needed now. These two training books are now available in community libraries in the US and Canada. Libraries that are supplied by Hoopla for their digital resources have these two e-books available for patrons with a library card.
- Development of additional e-books and other training to create a set of coordinated cooperatives (cooperatives eco-set) for communities worldwide. This set of cooperatives will help transform land and water for permanent fruit, vegetable and herbs food forests by harvesting water from Earth and roof surface rain collection, while restoring the land and fresh water tributaries plus recycling human waste as compost. In addition, the cooperatives will develop water resources strictly intended for animal sanctuaries away from farming and more.
