Three ways to join the movement.
Start as a Consumer, become a Community Farmer, or bring your farm to a new audience as a Commercial Partner. Every level of involvement makes the network stronger.

Beyond the tiers.
As Tekel grows, so do the opportunities within it.
Local Tekel Consultant
Community Farmers who earn high ratings become local experts — offering advice to growers in their area and serving as Tekel's ambassador in their community. An additional income stream earned through reputation.
Delivery Driver
Independent contractors who deliver local Tekel goods within their community — similar to a rideshare model, but for fresh food. Compensated through delivery fees and tips. Primarily urban markets.
TKL Token Holder
Launching Q3 2026 — TKL merit credits enable barter balancing across the platform. Community Farmers and Large-Scale Farm Partners gain early access to earn and participate in community governance by 2027.
Common questions.
What is a Local Tekel Consultant?
Community Farmers who build a strong rating and reputation within their local network can evolve into Local Tekel Consultants — becoming Tekel's eyes and ears in that community, offering expertise to local growers, and earning additional income for doing so.
Why is Large-Scale Farm pricing 1% of sales?
Typical marketing expenditures hover around 2% of revenue. Tekel delivers a direct, local audience to your products for less than what most farms already spend on marketing — and with far more precision.
Can I upgrade my level of involvement?
Always. Tekel is designed so that every Consumer can become a Community Farmer when they're ready. The more community farmers, the stronger every local network — we provide incentives and promotions to encourage that growth.
When does the TKL merit credit system launch?
The TKL merit credit system launches Q3 2026. It will allow peer-to-peer barter balancing — so you can exchange goods of unequal value fairly, without cash. Community Farmers and Large-Scale Farm Partners will be the first to access it.
