Are you ready to start living your country dreams? Maybe the thought of slowing down, getting back to nature, and enjoying everything the rural lifestyle has to offer is calling your name. If you’re curious about making a home for yourself in the country, here’s what you need to consider when weighing the different options GreenStone provides for country living loans.
Ready to Call the Country Home?
Perhaps you’re a DIY-enthusiast, ready to take on the challenging yet rewarding experience of building your own home from the ground up. Maybe you’re looking for the dream plot of land that your family will enjoy for generations to come and will be the site of your dream home. Or maybe you’re just ready to get outside of the city limits and trade the highway for winding dirt roads. Either way, GreenStone has a variety of loan options to fit your unique needs.
Home Construction Financing
Our home construction loans give you the ability to be your own contractor- or not! Whatever part of the building process you want to DIY or contract out, you decide. Build your own home completely yourself, contract everything out to a builder, or anything in between! The choice is yours.
Home Site Vacant Land Financing
When it comes to securing your dream property, you shouldn’t have to worry about stipulations around when you are going to build on it. Good things take time, and we think you should have the ability to say when you’re ready to break ground on your forever home-it’s your land after all! Our home site vacant land loans are ideal for those who want to build in the future, but don’t know exactly when.
Country Home Financing
As the experts in rural financing, we can help make your vision of purchasing the ideal country home come to life. What qualifies a property as a country home you might ask? To finance a home through GreenStone, the property must be located outside of city limits. The home can be located within a neighborhood or township, and there is no restriction to the amount of acreage the home can be on.
For those looking to purchase a country home on more than five acres, there can be significant benefits. Here is one example: A customer who currently has a loan with GreenStone on a 20-acre property would like to purchase an additional 40 acres. They don’t have the 20% down payment required for the land, but instead they have the option of getting an appraisal done on their current property and the 40 acres they would like to purchase.
This is called an add-on loan and can be an option for GreenStone customers who are financing a property over 5 acres. The existing property can be used as collateral to receive funding for the full purchase price of the new land. The customer would even be able to keep the debt of the existing and new property separate given they have different interest rates. Leveraging the equity they have on their current property gives them the opportunity to purchase more land and free up capital by not requiring a hefty down payment.
More Benefits to Living the Country Life
As the experts in rural financing, there are even more benefits to financing your country home through GreenStone in addition to the flexible loan terms, fixed interest rates, and easy re-amortization options we offer. As a GreenStone customer, you are a part of a member-owned cooperative that’s owned by and shares profits with the homeowners, landowners, and farmers we are fortunate enough to serve. Profits are returned to qualifying customers in the form of a check each year on Patronage Day. Think of it as a house-warming gift!
GreenStone’s team of experienced experts are here to help you live your country dreams. No matter which country living loan is best for you, our team is ready to help you put your plans into action. Contact your local branch today to get started!

Shelli and Paul Meulemans operate Wild Coyote Farm, where they are able to connect with their community and provide organic produce. They are both first generation agriculturalists who found their roots within farming. Wild Coyote Farm offers a customizable produce share throughout the harvest season. They service local homes and the Chicago area with their produce delivery and pickup program.
The Meulemans noted “We pride ourselves on the quality and affordability of the produce we sell, and the community has responded by supporting our farm.” Beyond their produce share, the Meulemans grow a diverse selection of vegetables, along with offering eggs, lamb meat, and wool to support their community.
The Meulemans Family
To continue providing for those around them, the Meulemans utilized GreenStone’s CultivateGrowth Grant. They were able to continue to expand their knowledge with the experience provided through the grant funds. “This grant allowed us to attend the Eco-Ag Conference & Trade Show, where spent time with like-minded growers and learned from luminaries in the field of soil health and regenerative agriculture.”
The conference consisted of a variety of panelists whose topics ranged from complex soil interactions of different chemicals and the value of balancing them, to a discussion around balancing minerals in the soil versus applying foliar chemicals. These presentations allowed the couple to network with many producers and expand their knowledge in the industry.
As Wild Coyote Farm reaches their eighth farming season, the Meulemans have strong goals moving forward, and said, “We would like to continue with aggressive growth in sales, following a trend we have been able to maintain since the farm started. In order to meet those goals, we must continue to expand our land base to continue to be a sustainable organic operation. We strive to have each acre of the farm to be in pasture for two years, then to be rotated back into vegetable production only when it is ready to grow the best possible produce.”
GreenStone is proud to support agriculturalists rooted in growth like Paul and Shelli. We work to provide the educational and financial resources needed to help grow your passion for your operation. To apply for a grant, visit CultivateGrowth Grant.
Ready to start building the home of your dreams but not sure where to begin?
Whether you’re looking for the perfect house to raise your growing family, a couple of dogs or a place to host gatherings with friends, GreenStone’s home construction loans can help make it happen. Our flexible country living financing includes both contracted construction projects and do-it-yourself home builds, allowing you to choose the process that best fits your busy lifestyle.
Before you get carried away planning your perfect kitchen and begin shopping for your dream backsplash, there are a few things you’ll want to consider first as you prepare for your build. Here are the top must-dos when preparing for a construction loan and home build:
Get a Pre-Qualification
Regardless of how early in the building process you may be, even if you don’t have a home site or a builder picked out, your first step is getting prequalified. Although it may seem premature to get pre-qualified months before you need the loan, a pre-qualification will help you and your loan officer do a check-up on your finances and determine your budget. That way, when you finally begin planning the construction process you will know exactly how much you can afford.
Another bonus to getting pre-qualified early is you’ll have time to take care of any surprise credit report items you weren’t aware of, so you can work on getting your credit in tip-top shape. It’s best to get pre-qualified 2-5 months before you plan on beginning the construction process.
For example, if you plan on building in the spring, you’ll want to meet with a local lender toward the end of the year to start discussing your financial plans and building goals.
Prepare Your Land
If you have not yet chosen your home site and need to begin the search for your ideal location, your next step is to get online or contact a realtor to start the process.
If you already own the land you plan to use for your future home site, take time to consider what needs to be done before the building can start. Preparing the land looks different for each project but typically consists of testing the soil to make sure it is suitable for building on, clearing trees or getting improvements started. It is crucial to do this step 2-3 months before you plan to build so when it’s time to begin building, the land is ready to go.
Decision Time: Contracted or DIY
Once you’ve decided on a build site, it’s time to decide which build option works best for you: working with a professional contractor or building your house yourself.
If you plan to work with a contractor, start researching builders in your area. Getting references, talking with the builder’s previous customers, and asking to see homes the builder has previously built will give you a sense of their style and their price-point, and can help ensure the house plans they offer align with your home goals.
If you plan to take the DIY route, there is other homework to be done. You should start by researching the items you will need and gather the costs for each. It’s important to keep in mind the costs could change between the time you prepare for the build and at the actual time of purchase, so crosschecking the prices for each item again at the time of your build is crucial.
Do Your Research and Ask Questions
The more homework and research you do up-front to prepare yourself for the construction process, the smoother home building will be and the less likely you are to run into project setbacks. Whether you’re doing a contracted construction build or taking the opportunity to do a DIY build, understanding the construction process is key and your lender is a valuable resource!

When Emily Gandara was growing up, she felt she never had a clear vision of what career path she wanted to take. She has a degree in Web Development and Design, but said the passion wasn’t there. She had never felt like she knew what she wanted to be when she grew up. Facing this dilemma Emily, and her husband, Emmanuel, decided to start a new beginning.
“We purchased our farm in 2023 and with no farming experience, we dove right in,” Emily said. They started off that first year renovating their 1880 farmhouse, growing a cut flower garden and a fruit and vegetable garden, and raising pigs and chickens. All the produce was either sold at their farm stand or the local farmer’s market.
Wrapping up their first-year farming, the Gandaras’ had many goals to continue building, learning, and providing for their family and community.
“This first year on the farm is the first time that I feel like I’m right where I’m meant to be. Working on the farm centers me and sets my soul on fire all at the same time. So, at 35 years old and with 4 kids, I decided to head back to school.” Emily shared how fulfilled she is to have started this journey. To stick to her goals, she applied and received GreenStone’s CultivateGrowth Grant!
She used the grant to enroll in a program through Fox Valley Technical College on Agricultural Entrepreneurship. This program detailed the ins and outs of owning a farm operation. Emily noted she learned about business finances, farm equipment, crops, and animals. This course provided her with new knowledge as Harvest Moon Farm continues to grow and expand throughout the years.
In the coming years the Gandaras hope to dive deeper in their operation. “We want to provide our family and community with healthy, fresh food and beautiful flowers.” They also want to add more animals like turkeys, goats, and cows, as well as expand their flower garden and host pick-your-own flower events in 2025!
As the Harvest Moon Farm flourishes, GreenStone is proud to support agriculturalists like them. From the beginning we work to provide the educational and financial resources needed to help grow your passion for your operation. To apply for a grant, visit CultivateGrowth Grant.
As a cooperative, GreenStone is owned by its member stockholders and governed by an elected Board of Directors representing all areas of our territory. Our board meets throughout the year to provide direction and leadership oversight to our organization.
Before a member can be elected to the board, our Nominating Committee identifies, evaluates, and nominates a qualified slate of candidates for stockholder election. The Nominating Committee holds a very pivotal role in determining who provides leadership to our association. If you’re interested in furthering GreenStone’s role as an industry leader for agriculture and our rural communities, serving on the Nominating Committee might be a great opportunity for you!
Who Can Apply for the Nominating Committee?
The main duty of the Nominating Committee is to seek out and identify qualified individuals who are willing to serve as directors and nominating committee members.
To those interested in serving on the Committee, you must be a voting stockholder of the association, as well as have an outstanding loan balance with GreenStone. Those who are Directors, employees, or agents of GreenStone are not eligible to apply for the Nominating Committee. Those who are current candidates for the Board of Directors cannot serve on the Nominating Committee, however those who have served on the Board in the past are invited to apply for a position on the Committee. Finally, you must reside or have a headquarters within the association’s chartered territory. Nominating Committee members are elected for a one-year term with a maximum of serving for three-consecutive years.
What Makes a Good Candidate
The most important quality of a Nominating Committee member is their eagerness to get involved and advance the association forward. By putting the right people in place, GreenStone and our members both experience long-term growth that makes an impact. “Having direct involvement with your members is very important so you keep the direction of our association and Farm Credit Services moving forward”, says current Nominating Committee member William Lyn Uphaus.
Uphaus himself served on GreenStone’s Board of Directors before joining the Nominating Committee to help identify new members of the board. Nathan Girbach, who is a fifth-generation farmer and also currently serving on GreenStone’s Nominating Committee says, “A lot of the time farmers are so wrapped up in their own operations that it’s hard to remember the importance of being an advocate for the industry too. That’s why it’s so important to get out there and have your voice heard for the good of the industry.”
Responsibilities of the Nominating Committee
Elections to be on GreenStone’s Nominating Committee are held annually. Should you be elected to the Committee, meetings take place 1-3 times a year to review and approve the slate of director candidates. Starting in July, the Nominating Committee in a region with open director positions meet to review the expectations for sourcing and selecting candidates. Then in the fall that same Nominating Committee conducts formal interviews with the identified director candidates to determine who will appear on the ballot come May when the Board of Directors election takes place. The balance of the Nominating Committee members meet in December to select candidates to run for the next year’s open Nominating Committee positions.
Why Apply for the Nominating Committee?
“The whole process for me as a voting member has been very educational,” says Calby Garrison, GreenStone Nominating Committee member. “I would encourage anyone who’s looking to make a difference in this organization get involved.”

As a farmer, the changing seasons bring both challenges and opportunities. Just as you plan your planting and harvest cycles, it’s essential to prepare financially for the year ahead. The new year is right around the corner, and by taking proactive steps now, you can build a solid foundation for a successful and sustainable farming operation in 2025 and beyond.
Here’s a breakdown of how you can ensure you’re ready for what the coming year will bring.
Review and Update Your Balance Sheet
Your farm’s balance sheet is more than just a financial document. It is a snapshot of your operation’s financial health at a specific point in time, often aligned with your tax year-end. A complete balance sheet includes everything your farm owns (assets) and everything your farm owes (liabilities), giving you a clear picture of your farm’s equity position.
Why it matters:
A well-maintained balance sheet helps you understand the financial strengths and weaknesses of your operation, guiding better decision-making for the future. Whether you’re considering a new equipment purchase or expanding your farm’s acreage, your balance sheet can provide the insight you need to proceed with confidence.
Action steps:
- Make it a priority to complete your balance sheet at least once a year. Your lender can provide a balance sheet template that will help you stay organized.
- Use the year-end as an opportunity to schedule an appointment to sit down with your loan officer and compare year-over-year (YOY) balance sheet trends. This review will highlight changes in your equity position and other key financial indicators.
- Examine liquidity—the assets you can easily turn into cash to cover current liabilities. For example, you sell your crop inventory sitting in the bin to pay for January’s loan payments. Strong liquidity will allow you to take advantage of opportunities or manage unexpected expenses.
Plan for Capital Improvements
Farming is an ever-evolving business, and in order to remain competitive and profitable, making capital improvements is often necessary. This could mean purchasing new equipment, overhauling equipment, completing major repairs, remodeling current structures or even acquiring additional land.
Why it matters:
Investing in the right capital improvements can significantly increase the efficiency and profitability of your operation. However, each investment comes with a cost, so it’s essential to assess whether the funds for these improvements will come from earnings or borrowed money.
Action steps:
- Evaluate the areas of your farm that would benefit most from capital improvements. Ask yourself: What will have the greatest impact on my operation’s efficiency and productivity?
- Consider how these improvements will be funded. Will you use your farm’s retained earnings, or will you need to explore loan options with your lender?
- Work closely with your loan officer to understand the best borrowing terms and rates available, ensuring that you balance the need for improvements with maintaining a healthy financial position.
Focus on Profit & Loss (P&L) Management
Your farm’s Profit & Loss statement (P&L) is another vital tool in understanding how well your operation is performing financially. This statement tracks your revenues and expenses over time, helping you evaluate profitability.
Why it matters:
While reviewing the P&L statement on an annual basis is important, keeping an eye on it throughout the year allows you to make adjustments in real-time. Understanding your revenue streams and cost structure ensures that you’re not just breaking even but generating healthy profits.
Action steps:
- Maintain detailed farm record books to track all income and expenses, ensuring that you have the most accurate data possible.
- Identify areas where you may be overspending or where you can reduce costs without sacrificing quality or productivity.
- Use the insights from your P&L statement to refine your budgeting and forecasting for the next year.
Build a Long-Term Plan for Growth
One of the biggest mistakes a farmer might make is to operate without a long-term plan. Each year offers opportunities to grow and improve, but without a clear roadmap, it’s easy to lose sight of your larger goals.
Why it matters:
Having a strategic plan in place will help you make decisions that align with your long-term vision for the farm. Whether you want to expand your operation, improve productivity or enhance sustainability practices, setting goals and milestones for the future is critical to success.
Action steps:
- Create an annual plan that includes both financial and operational objectives. What improvements will you make to the farm? How do you plan to increase efficiency or profitability?
- Review this plan regularly and make adjustments as needed, especially after reviewing your balance sheet, P&L and capital needs.
- Consult with your loan officer to ensure that your growth strategy is both realistic and financially sound.
Finding Support from Your Lender
It’s easy to feel overwhelmed when you’re managing a farm, especially when it comes to the financial side of things. However, you don’t have to navigate these challenges alone. Your lender can be one of many valuable partners, offering tools and insights to help you succeed.
Why it matters:
Working with your lender to understand your farm’s financial position and future opportunities can help you be prepared to face whatever challenges the coming year may bring.
Action steps:
- Schedule an annual meeting with your loan officer to review your financial statements and discuss upcoming capital improvements.
- Consider resources and support from your lender to help you make decisions that align with your goals.
By taking these proactive steps now, you can have your farming operation financially prepared for 2025. From maintaining a solid balance sheet to making strategic capital improvements, being intentional with your planning will allow you to overcome challenges and seize new opportunities as they arise.

Are you considering buying vacant land? Whether you are purchasing property for hunting, a place to build a future home, or even to expand your hobby farm, there are endless possibilities of how you can use your vacant land. One way to acquire this new dream property is through an auction. There are several auction companies throughout Michigan and Wisconsin that sell vacant land. If you are looking to purchase your vacant land through a land auction, here are some things to think about.
What do I need when buying land through an auction?
Before heading off to an auction, or logging into the auction website, work with a loan officer to get a prequalification and to help determine what your budget is going to be. When meeting with a loan officer there are a few things that you should come prepared with including financial statements, tax returns, and verified asset statements. This process will help instill confidence knowing you are going to purchase property that fits comfortably within your budget!
How can I buy land through an auction?
All auction companies have a set of rules and guidelines you have to take into consideration when buying vacant land. Some companies are cash only, or others require a closing within a certain amount of days. You’ll also want to know if the company requires an earnest money deposit, meaning if the auction requires you to put a certain amount down before closing to show that you are serious about the transaction. Earnest money deposits go towards your money down at closing as well. Making note of each of these guidelines ahead of time will help provide you the clarity to make the process easier for you to enjoy.
How can I be prepared for a land auction?
Before purchasing your desired property, do some research in the area, and if you are interested in building on the land, you should also double check the rules and regulations that come with potentially building. What are the specific permits you will need? Does the township have building requirements? Is the property accessible from the road? Do you need a legal easement to get to it and if so, are you working with a lender that will finance land-locked property like GreenStone does?
If you are looking to use the property for recreational use or doing some hobby farming, make sure to understand what is the average price per acre is in the area, how much is farm rent, and are there any agricultural affidavits or forestry to take into consider?
Having the answers to these types of questions will help you know if it is the right property for you!
Do I need to visit the property beforehand?
Although it is not required to visit the property before you buy it, it is suggested. What better way to get to know the area than to see it firsthand? Besides, it will be great to imagine where you might want to put your tree stand or build the cabin! If you are looking to use the property for farm ground, it will be valuable to see what the current state of crops looks like, what is planted there currently, how well they are growing, and are there any wet spots. This type of information will be important determining factors into whether or not you should purchase the property.
There are a few extra things to consider when purchasing vacant land when through an auction like auction guidelines, knowing your budget, and property research. Being prepared by doing some research and working with a lender will help you feel more confidence in the experience and make the process easier to purchase your dream property!

Interested in enhanced coverage for your crops to help mitigate risk on your farm? Here’s what you need to know about Enhanced Coverage Option, referred to as ECO, as a fruit producer to receive more insurance coverage options than ever before.
What is Enhanced Coverage Option?
You may be wondering, what is enhanced insurance coverage? Enhanced Coverage Option (ECO) is an area-based band of coverage that attaches to your existing eligible crop insurance policy. ECO provides two coverage option levels from 86-90%, and from 86-95% depending on your specific needs. ECO was developed by the USDA to provide producers with higher levels of coverage at a more affordable rate. “What makes ECO different from other coverage options is that it provides great shallow loss coverage at a reasonable premium,” says Cory Blumerick, crop insurance manager at GreenStone Farm Credit Services. “Because of this, it may benefit producers to consider this band of coverage in conjunction with their underlying Actual Production History (APH) policy to more effectively manage their risk.”
Why Fruit Growers Should Consider ECO in 2025
Enhanced Coverage Option for fruit growers is now available. Starting in 2025, apple, grape, and blueberry growers will all be eligible for ECO in the state of Michigan. Here’s why you should consider it.
The growing season for fruit producers in Michigan is notoriously volatile with many growers across the state finding themselves in various loss situations every year. For those without ECO, producers can sustain considerable damage in their production area before their individual policy indemnifies. With ECO however, fruit producers can receive a payment when the production area (typically county) has either a 5%, or 10% (depending on elected coverage level) decrease in expected production, even if they are individually experiencing a bumper crop that year.
ECO for apple, grape, and blueberry fruit crops is available in Yield Protection form only. Certain commodity crops such as corn and soybeans also have a Revenue Protection form of ECO available ECO is an option that is elected during fruit sales close, which is November 20th every year in Michigan.
ECO is subsidized at a 65% level, meaning the federal government pays 65% of the premium, while the producer is responsible for the remaining 35%. This makes ECO a cost-effective option to insure for shallow losses.
How Does ECO Insurance Work?
ECO is based on your production area’s (typically county) expected yield, instead of producers’ individual yields. If your area’s final production falls below the coverage levels of 90-95% depending on the level you have selected with your policy, the indemnity will begin to be paid. If the area’s final production falls below 86% if the expected yield, then the full amount of ECO coverage will be paid out. The claims are paid independently of how your own farm yields, so it is possible to experience a personal loss yet not receive payment from ECO due to the level of county average yield or revenue.
For example, if you added an ECO policy at 90% coverage to your existing APH apple policy, you would be eligible to receive payment if the area’s final yield fell below 90% of its expected yield.
Note that the expected area yield is based on a 30-year linear trend line and is typically increasing steadily yearly to keep up with planting patterns. GreenStone’s team of crop insurance specialists can help you understand your area’s historical analysis by looking at your area’s ECO performance over the last 30 years.
How Can ECO Be Purchased?
If you are interested in obtaining ECO coverage, the first step is to reach out to your crop insurance specialist to see what band of coverage would benefit your operation most. “In order to obtain an ECO policy, you will need an underlying buy-up policy for apples, grapes, or blueberries. ECO attaches to all crop lines of that insured crop. If the insured elects to add ECO to their policy, it is added onto the fall application,” Cory noted. If you have questions on ECO and if it would be a good fit for your farm, GreenStone’s dedicated team of crop insurance specialists are ready to help answer any questions you might have on how ECO coverage can benefit you most.
“I dreamed about creating a farm where we could connect children and young people – those just starting out in life – with really nutritious food and the joy and peacefulness that comes with working outdoors side-by-side with others,” Kristen Muehlhauser shared as she reminisced looking back on the start of her journey in 2007.
Kristen and her husband Adam started at a community garden in Ann Arbor, MI. “That first year the weeds grew higher than the plants, but, to my total amazement, delicious vegetables hid in that jungle and made their way onto our plates.” The couple then added seeded flats to windowsills and continued to add plots every season.
Then, in 2012 the Muehlhauser’s welcomed their first daughter. Kristen shared, “Her delight in the worms, weeds, and wind brought great joy and wonder for me, and made me look for new opportunities to share gardening with children and adults.”
With those experiences in mind, five years ago when their youngest child started school, the Muehlhauser’s began their journey of connecting people to agriculture sustainably. Their farm, Raindance Organic Farm, offers a wide variety of produce, from vegetables, herbs, and flowers to workshops where they share their knowledge with others.
As the farm advanced, Kristen wanted to grow her skills in cut flower production, so she applied and received GreenStone’s CultivateGrowth Grant. Kristin was able to take The Lily Workshop Course where she learned the ins and outs of successful lily production. The couple has recently invested in a new greenhouse in order to increase the scale of lily and other floriculture crops on their operation, which will be ready for use in early 2025.
With what Kristen learned throughout her course, her and Adam decided to run a pilot crop this year with 2700 lilies grown over nine months. GreenStone’s grant was able to help the Muehlhauser’s grow and expand their knowledge to ultimately better their operation. While focused on growing skills, the Raindance Organic Farm is also focused on closing the gap between farm to fork. For the past three growing seasons, all their produce was sold within a 10-mile radius to their farm, making sure they can connect each person and family who purchases their products to the environment it was grown and sharing their love for the land. The Raindance Organic Farm showcases how dreams can become reality when rooted in growth.
Kristen concluded with, “We’re five years into this journey and I’ve learned that small business owners wear many hats and develop diverse skillsets. I love the problem solving. I love connecting with the beautiful humans who are drawn to farms, community, and good food. I love the creative opportunities. Most of all I love that I am doing work that I strongly believe in together with people I love.”
GreenStone is proud to support agriculturalists rooted in growth like Kristen and Adam. We work to provide the educational and financial resources needed to help grow your passion for your operation. To apply for a grant, visit CultivateGrowth Grant.
