NORMA'S BASKET
Stewardship. Empowerment. Innovation.
Our Impact
With more than 2,700 clients served, Farmer Millz and Norma's Basket have helped beginning farmers, ranchers, landowners, and agricultural entrepreneurs build stronger operations through strategic planning, funding preparation, and agricultural education. Our mission is to equip producers with the knowledge, tools, and professional documentation needed to make informed decisions and pursue long-term success.
​
Grant & Funding Preparation
We assist clients in identifying funding opportunities and preparing competitive application materials for federal, state, nonprofit, and private agricultural programs. Our services include grant research, proposal development, supporting documentation, project planning, and application guidance. While funding decisions are made solely by the awarding organization, many of our clients have successfully secured grants, cost-share assistance, and agricultural financing after working with us.
​
USDA-Ready Agriculture Business Plans
Every farming operation is different, which is why we develop customized business plans designed around each client's goals, resources, and production model. Our business plans include market research, operational strategies, financial projections, risk management, and implementation timelines. These plans have helped clients prepare for USDA programs, financing opportunities, investor presentations, and the successful launch or expansion of their agricultural businesses.
​
Agricultural Education
Education is at the core of everything we do. Through videos, webinars, downloadable resources, workshops, and one-on-one mentoring, Farmer Millz has educated thousands of aspiring and established producers across the United States. Our content focuses on practical, real-world agriculture—from business planning and farm management to funding strategies, livestock production, and profitable farming systems—making complex topics easier to understand and apply.
​
Agricultural Consulting & Farm Development
We provide personalized consulting services for farmers and ranchers at every stage of their journey. Whether someone is purchasing their first piece of land, expanding an existing operation, improving profitability, or developing a long-term strategy, we work alongside them to create practical solutions tailored to their operation. Our consulting services cover farm planning, financial strategy, enterprise selection, operational management, and funding readiness.
​
A Commitment to Long-Term Success
Our goal extends beyond preparing documents—we help clients build sustainable agricultural businesses. By combining industry knowledge with personalized guidance, Farmer Millz and Norma's Basket continue to support producers as they navigate the challenges and opportunities of modern agriculture. Every farm is unique, and we are committed to providing honest, practical, and professional support that helps our clients move forward with confidence.

“Malik restored hope in my life. I had hired him to write me a grant years ago but got stuck and haven’t been able to do anything with it. I told him my situation and he went above and beyond to help me figure my path and volunteered to help me through it. Thank you brother”

Thanks to his guidance and support throughout the process, my project was selected for approximately $54,000 in funding. I appreciated that he was honest, responsive, and took the time to explain every step instead of simply handing me documents. I walked away with a plan I can continue using as my farm grows.
