About Us
At Rooted Revival, we believe that vibrant communities begin with shared tables—and that the best meals come from partnerships rooted in trust and collaboration.
A Community-First Vision
We aren’t just another farm. We’re co-creators with chefs, restaurateurs, neighbors, and families who care about the origins of their food. By working together, we ensure every ingredient—from microgreens under LED lights to pasture-raised meats—reflects local tastes and strengthens our regional food system.
Our Journey
My name is Michael Willis. My story begins on my family’s 2000‑acre ranch outside Austin, continues with service in the U.S. Navy, and leads to my current pursuit of a B.S. in Plant Biology & Biochemistry at the University of Oklahoma. Over the past three years, I’ve managed roughly 120,000 sq ft of dedicated indoor grow space in Norman, OK—honing greenhouse science, lighting protocols, and operational workflows. On May 11, the day after I graduate, I’ll return home to transform an 80 acre tract into a fully insured, year‑round regenerative farm.
Rather than growing in isolation, we’re inviting you—our future partners—to shape everything from the first seedling to the final plate.
How We Grow Together
Collaborative Planning: Long before you ever see a shipment, we’ll meet to understand your menu, your diners, and your seasonal goals. Together, we choose the varieties that matter most to your kitchen.
Phased Development:
Phase 1 (Mid‑June): LED‑powered greens & herbs, custom‑tailored to your menu.
Phase 2 (July–August): Integrated aquaponics for fresh tilapia and insect‑based protein, plus second‑wave vegetables you request.
Phase 3 (September+): Pasture‑raised poultry & goats, specialty roots and perennials nurtured on demand.
Throughout each stage, your feedback guides our calendars and planting schedules—so deliveries arrive precisely when and what you need.
