Jake works directly with soil, plant, and animal health—bringing equal focus to minerals, microbes, and mindset.

Jake brings together practical farming experience and ecological insight to help land managers create real, lasting change. His coaching is designed for those who want more than quick fixes—farmers and business owners who are ready to look at their production systems through a broader, ecological lens.

  • Proven Training – Having completed the respected Integrity Soils CREATE program, Jake has developed the tools and frameworks needed to guide complex agricultural transitions.

  • Holistic Understanding – He integrates soil, plant tissue, and microbe testing with on-farm visual assessment, ensuring decisions are grounded in both science and the lived reality of your landscape.

  • Business & Ecology in Balance – Jake helps you align ecological outcomes with your business goals, so that improvements in soil and ecosystem health also strengthen productivity, profitability, and resilience.

  • Values-Driven Approach – His work is guided by compassion, curiosity, and collaboration, with a deep respect for the human connection to landscape. Every conversation is about partnership, not prescription.

Working with Jake means gaining a thoughtful partner who can help you see your farm differently, reframe challenges, and discover new possibilities for both your land and your business.

The Outcome

This call is your opportunity to step back, share your story, and connect with the unrealised potential of your farm.

At Catalyst Soils, we believe in ecological magic—the abundance that’s possible when we work with nature as a collective community. Every farm holds unrealised potential, and with the right lens, limitations can become gateways to growth.
