Oatman Farms knows people love conscientious farmers, especially their local family farmers, and want to help them thrive. So, we are pleased to announce our Farmers Love Bitcoin initiative, which is a bold mash up of agriculture and cryptocurrency designed to help farmers in a big way.
Our objective is simple: Get Bitcoin into the virtual pockets of all family farmers.
Bitcoin has a track record of being worth way more than dollars. Each Bitcoin has grown in value from a fraction of a penny in 2009 to tens of thousands of dollars in 2021.
A $4.00 Bitcoin tip made on June 2, 2016 would have been worth $255.44 on June 2, 2021!
Here’s the math: On June 2, 2016, $4.00 represented 0.0068 BTC at a market price of $581.65 per BTC.
That same amount of BTC (0.0068 BTC) was worth $255.44 on June 2, 2021 at a market price of $37,566.14 per BTC.
Imagine what your local farmer could do with hundreds or thousands of Bitcoin tips accumulated over a 3 to 5 year period.
• Buy a new tractor.
• Convert to organic or regenerative
• Launch their own consumer brand.
• Smoothly transition the farm from parents to children, nieces or nephews.
Oatman Farms is living proof of the power of Bitcoin. We were only able to keep Oatman Flats Ranch in the Hansen family, convert to organic practices, and launch the Oatman Farms food brand because we had purchased some Bitcoin in the early years and could sell it to fund operations. We didn’t want to sell our Bitcoin, but we, like other family farmers, were determined to do what it took to continue farming our land with purpose.

First, keep up the great work growing crops and developing food products!
Second, after you have opened a Bitcoin wallet to accept tips, put your Bitcoin wallet address in a QR code you put on your packaging, website, social media pages, farm stand, or tractor for your customers to use to easily make Bitcoin tips from their mobile phones. Here’s the QR code we created for Oatman Farms’s Bitcoin wallet address. Ping us if you need tips on how to create your QR code or get started accepting Bitcoin tips.
Thank you for purchasing food products from Oatman Farms and other family farmers. Please start tipping your favorite family farmers today in Bitcoin! If you are new to Bitcoin, please read the links above and figure it out. Do it for family farmers. Your support can transform agriculture, landscapes and food in your community. In Oatman Farms’ case, your support helps Oatman Flats Ranch accomplish its mission to revitalize and sustain family farms in hot and dry desert environments, including along the Lower Gila River in Arizona.
Although we currently accept tips in Bitcoin only, we accept many forms of payment, including traditional payments and multiple digital currencies, on our provisions checkout page. We currently accept Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, Ethereum, Litecoin, and USD Coin through Coinbase Commerce.
Bitcoin is powered by blockchain technology, which allows innovators to do some other really cool things besides payment. Oatman Farms is using blockchain technology to provide transparency regarding the planting, harvesting, cleaning, transportation and manufacturing of Oatman Farms products.
