Eco Farm “Your Farm” (Ukrainian: “Твоя Ферма”) is a sustainable agricultural investment project based in Rybchyntsi village, Skvyra district of Kyiv region, Ukraineolx.ua. It operates as an eco-farm producing natural, organic food products of its own makefacebook.com. The farm focuses primarily on livestock farming (pig fattening) and feed production – for example, it processes soybeans into high-protein press cake to feed its pigs, selling any surplus feed externallyolx.ua. Founded in 2019 with “zero starting capital,” Your Farm has been built up by crowd investors and documented as a business “reality show” for its followersinstagram.com. The idea is that anyone can become an investor in the farm’s growth, even with a modest contributioninstagram.com. The project emphasizes eco-friendly practices (it has even raised funds to install a solar power station on the farminstagram.com), aiming to build the “farm of our dreams” with community support.
Project Sector/Category: The venture falls under agriculture and sustainable farming. Specifically, it is an eco-farming/agri-business project combining crop cultivation (for feed) and animal husbandry (pig breeding/fattening) to produce organic meat and related products. It also intersects with green energy (solar power integration) to reduce costs and improve sustainabilityinstagram.com.
Investment Terms and Returns
Annual Yield: The project offers a targeted return of 18% per annum in US Dollars for its investorsinstagram.com. This figure is advertised as the farm’s profitability for contributors. (Notably, in its early stages the project even touted ~36% yearly returns (≈3% per month) when inviting people to invest in pig-fattening cycles, although the current stated yield is 18%instagram.com.)
Minimum Investment Amount: No specific minimum investment sum is publicly stated in the sources. The farm’s messaging (“you can be the investor”) implies a low entry threshold, encouraging even small investors to participateinstagram.com. In practice, the minimum could be the cost of raising a single pig (i.e. a few thousand UAH, roughly on the order of ~$100) or another modest amount, but exact figures were not found in open sources. The project’s openness to micro-investors suggests flexibility in investment size, allowing anyone interested to contribute an amount they are comfortable with.
Minimum Investment Term: The minimum investment duration is not explicitly published, but by nature of the business it likely aligns with a farming cycle. Investors should expect to commit funds for at least one production cycle to realize returns – for example, a pig fattening cycle is roughly 6–8 months, after which the animal is sold and profit can be calculated. The 18% yield is quoted as an annual return, implying a ~12-month horizon for full returns. It’s reasonable to infer that 6–12 months would be the minimum period to keep the investment in the project to obtain the promised profit (with potential for periodic interest payouts). Without official documentation, however, these time frames are approximate assumptions based on the farm’s operations.
Note: The investment model is essentially a form of revenue-sharing or private lending to the farm. Investors fund expansion steps (such as purchasing more animals, feed, or equipment), and in return the farm guarantees a passive income from the ensuing profits. For example, in one of its development plans, Your Farm solicited investor funding to add a third production line to increase feed/food output, indicating how new investment is tied to expansion milestonesinstagram.com. Profits from such expansions are what support the promised interest to investors. All investment returns are ultimately generated by the farm’s sale of its natural products (meat, feed, etc.), so the venture highlights that investing in Ukraine’s agro-sector can be both patriotic and profitable.
Founders and Team
The project was founded by Volodymyr Babanin (Володимир Бабанін), who serves as the owner and driving entrepreneur behind Your Farm. Babanin’s background includes experience in the finance and agribusiness sectors – for instance, he previously worked at ProCredit Bank and other firms before starting this farm (according to his public profile). Co-founding the venture alongside him is Serhii Holovin (Сергій Головін); both are listed as co-owners of the trademark “Твоя Ферма” (registered as “Products from the Village”, which includes “Tvoya Ferma” as a brand)opendatabot.ua. Together, Babanin and Holovin registered the business entity and intellectual property for Your Farm, and they function as the principal managers of the project.
Volodymyr Babanin – Founder and CEO (Owner of Eco Farm “Your Farm”). Babanin is the public face of the project, often appearing in videos/posts. He is an agripreneur who started Your Farm in 2019 from scratch. His vision was to build a modern eco-friendly farm via crowd investment. Babanin’s prior career in banking/finance and work with agricultural companies provided him the skills to run the venture. He is also noted to have studied at Donetsk National Technical University (indicating his technical and managerial education).
Serhii Holovin – Co-founder/partner. Holovin’s involvement is less public-facing, but records show he jointly owns the Your Farm business/trademark with Babaninopendatabot.ua. He likely contributes to strategic decisions and has a stake in the farm’s operations. (Holovin’s registered address is in Boyarka, Kyiv regionopendatabot.ua, and Babanin’s in Bila Tserkva, Kyiv region, reflecting their ties to the area).
Team: Beyond the founders, Your Farm is run as a family-style farm enterprise. It has a small team (including the founders and local farm workers) who handle daily farming activities – raising the pigs, cultivating crops, processing feed, and fulfilling orders. The project’s social media suggests a hands-on approach where the founders themselves often participate in farm work. Over 6 years of operation, the team has grown the farm’s capacity (adding new pig housing, feed production lines, and even on-site energy generation). They publicly share progress updates as part of the “reality show” aspect, highlighting the team’s achievements and building trust with investors.
