Jeff Meyer
Jeff is co-founder of The Farm at Okefenokee and lives in Jacksonville, Fla. Born and raised in the farming community of Amana, Iowa, he has deep roots in working and living from the land.
An avid outdoorsman and conservationist, Jeff is associated with a number of successful environmental initiatives. In the late 1980s, he joined America Forests on a mission to plant 20 million trees across the continental United States. The last tree was planted in September 2002 in New Mexico alongside actors and activists Val Kilmer and Ali MacGraw.
In 1995, he discovered, authenticated and acquired genetic rights to the “Algeo tree,” the last surviving tree planted by John Chapman, aka Johnny Appleseed. In partnership with the Secretary of the Interior, Jeff also developed our nation’s single largest privately-funded habitat conservation bank of 627,000 acres, located in Wyoming.
His successes in the renewable energy industry are also notable. Jeff led a project to replace a coal-fired power plant in Utah with a hydrogen energy facility to power a significant portion of the Los Angeles grid. Further, he founded a successful solar commercial developer in Texas and oversaw the installation of 15,800 megawatts of solar capacity throughout the state.
Over the years, Jeff has appeared on 30+ award-winning television shows; he has planted trees at both the White House and the Palace of Versailles; he's authored several books; and he led a project to plant more than 3,400 trees, one for each recipient of the Congressional Medal of Honor.
Today, Jeff’s lifelong passions for community, education, farming and sustainability coalesce at The Farm at Okefenokee. This one-of-a-kind place will not only include all of his past passions, it will integrate bitcoin mining as a way to ensure sustainability with our land intersects with the sustainability of our financial system.
Doug Davis
Doug grew up in the woods and waters of North Florida and South Georgia. His lifelong passions around fishing, hunting, surfing, and the outdoors have influenced his professional career. As a conservation-based real estate developer, Doug has more than 30 years of experience focused on low impact development, resilient communities, alternative energy solutions, and the sustainable integration of agriculture, economic, and environmental elements into communities and commerce.
Doug’s expertise and experience has grown to be recognized by peers, governing authorities, and trade groups as one of the top-most developers in the conservation and real estate development industry. He has testified multiple times before the United States Congress, including the Subcommittee on Interior, Energy and Environment and the Senate Committee on Environmental and Public Works, all related to his work. Now, as founder of The Farm at Okefenokee, Doug is excited to bring together all of his passions, experiences, and creativity to “bring to life” this one-of-a-kind Regenerative Farming Community.
