• Closed-loop revenue stack

  Poultry, duck, rabbit, processing, logistics, and fertilizer combine into a diversified cash engine under one roof.

• Quota-backed growth

  New Entrant approvals and SII mentorship accelerate barn commissioning while protecting margin against commodity swings.

• Fair Enterprise talent flywheel

  Profit-sharing scorecards and the Stronach Academy produce owner-operators who stay to scale the network.

• Replication-ready economics

  Standardized 18-barn campuses plus shared services support a 10-site rollout targeting a $200M+ valuation.

A lean team of 19 employees runs the mixed-species complex. Profit-sharing scorecards, continuous-improvement rituals, and mentorship pipelines surface frontline insights directly into capital planning.

2.1 Workforce Plan

2.2 Circular Fertilizer Program

Poultry litter, rabbit manure, and spent bedding are aerated with biochar to produce roughly 6,000 tonnes of composted fertilizer per year. Ontario market demand for regenerative soil amendments supports a $70 per tonne selling price, yielding $420,000 in annual revenue after certification testing and bagging.

A small packaging crew and third-party hauling add $75,000 in annual operating expense, but the closed-loop program keeps waste out of landfill, underpins Adena Farms Organic Campus soil health, and creates a branded input for partner farms.

3.3 Revenue Composition

Composting output: ~6,000 tonnes per year sold at $70 per tonne equals $420,000 of recurring revenue.

3.4 Capital Requirements

• $7M umbrella facility per site at 0% interest, repaid $1M annually over seven years.
• Construction sequencing activates barns, processor, and cold storage inside the first operating year.
• Appendix B details per-barn capital requirements.

3.5 Fair Enterprise ROI Pathway

The chart below stages gross revenue and net profit through the first four operating years as barns, processing, and distribution come online. It also tracks the $7M CAPEX balance alongside the proportional Fair Enterprise allocations. CAPEX amortizes evenly over seven years; once repaid, net profit and each profit-share bucket gain the full $1M annual lift.

The Fair Enterprise operating system turns profit sharing into a strategic lever while embedding Frank Stronach's Economic Charter principles into daily operations. In 1957, Stronach opened a one-man tool-and-die shop in a rented Toronto garage. By inviting his foreman into one-third ownership instead of losing him, productivity soared and Magna International's ownership-sharing DNA was born. Magna ultimately grew to 180,000 employees and $40B in revenue on the strength of that model: 20% of profits to shareholders, 10% to employees (70% cash, 30% shares), 6% to management, 7% to research, 2% to charity, with the balance retained for taxes and reinvestment. Adena mirrors that playbook so every contributor becomes a partner in performance.

• 10% employee profit pool, distributed quarterly, creates transparency and shared accountability.
• Mentorship ladder promotes high performers into ownership roles, mirroring Magna’s foreman-to-partner pathway.
• Governance council with labor, management, ownership, and community seats approves budgets for R&D, social responsibility, and reinvestment.
• Advocacy mandate keeps small-business regulation workable and channels retained earnings into local resilience.

4.1 Profit Distribution Waterfall

4.2 Lessons from Frank Stronach’s Playbook

• Share the wealth, share the responsibility. When teams participate directly in profit, they stay and scale the enterprise instead of leaving to compete.
• Build a clear Charter of Rights. Transparent formulas for profit splits and employee treatment foster trust—Magna's Corporate and Employee Charters remain the blueprint.
• Think long-term. Sustained reinvestment in people, research, and community outruns quarter-by-quarter thinking and compounds value.
• Decentralize to stay entrepreneurial. Empowered divisions stay close to customers and continue improving margin, even as the network grows.
• Make Fair Enterprise the default. Economic democracies close the gap between investors and operators, keeping Adena's workforce aligned with the mission that took Magna from a garage to a global powerhouse.

• Add one new site every 12–18 months via federated ownership and shared services.
• Maintain margin discipline through centralized procurement, training, and QA while preserving operator independence.
• Scale the mentorship pipeline so each entrant graduates with Fair Enterprise governance fluency and capital support.

5.1 Network Growth Projection (10-Year Horizon)

Total Year-10 net profit: ~$419.2M combining repayment and post-repayment cohorts.

5.2 ROI Milestones

• CAPEX balance clears by the end of Year 7; net profit rises from $3.89M to $4.89M beginning Year 8.
• Shareholder dividends increase from ~$778K to ~$978K per site post-repayment.
• Employee profit pool expands from ~$389K to ~$489K; management participation grows from ~$234K to ~$294K.
• Owner-operator share (26%) climbs from ~$1.01M to ~$1.27M annually once CAPEX is repaid.

1. Quota & Compliance (Months 0–3): Secure New Entrant approvals, finalize biosecurity protocols, and file the Fair Enterprise charter.
2. Capital Deployment (Months 3–12): Construct 18 barns plus processor and cold storage; sequence utilities, structures, and equipment for staged commissioning.
3. Talent & Mentorship (Months 6–12): Recruit 19 FTEs, launch the Stronach Academy cohort, and embed profit-sharing scorecards in onboarding.
4. Closed-Loop Commissioning (Months 9–15): Synchronize hatchery-to-distribution workflow, activate waste-to-compost systems, and complete third-party food safety audits.
5. Fair Enterprise Council Launch (Month 12): Seat representatives, approve R&D and community budgets, and publish the annual governance charter.
