Summary of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Basis of presentation and principals of consolidation

Basis of presentation and principals of consolidation — The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and the applicable rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, LV Peninsula Holding, LLC (“LV Holding”), MyVonia Innovations LLC (“MyVonia LLC”), Resource Group, Resource Group US LLC (“Resource”), Zimmer Equipment Inc. (“ZEI”) and ETS Realty 1, LLC (“ETS”), as well as Sugar Phase I LLC (“Sugar Phase”) and Pulga Internacional LLC (“Pulga”) (until the time of deconsolidation of Sugar Phase and Pulga as described below).

Recently adopted accounting pronouncements

Recently adopted accounting pronouncements — New accounting pronouncements implemented by the Company are discussed below or in the related notes, where appropriate.

Accounting estimates

Accounting estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Revenue recognition

Revenue recognition – The Company determines, at contract inception, whether it will transfer control of a promised good or service over time or at a point in time, regardless of the length of contract or other factors. The recognition of revenue aligns with the timing of when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve this core principle, the Company applies the following five steps in accordance with its revenue policy:

  (1) Identify the contract with a customer
(2)Identify the performance obligations in the contract
(3)Determine the transaction price
(4)Allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract
(5)Recognize revenue as performance obligations are satisfied

The revenue the Company has generated resulted primarily from the sale of materials (compost, engineered soils, and mulch) and the collection and disposal of organic waste. For revenue from commissions related to residential real estate purchased and sales transactions, the Company applies recognition of revenue when the customer obtains control over such service, which is at a point in time. Revenue from commissions amounted to $18,170 and $207,552 for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 respectively.

The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of materials (compost, soil and mulch) as well as the collection and disposal services of waste, which at times, is produced into saleable materials. Such revenue is recognized at the point in time when control of the product transfers to the customer, which typically occurs upon delivery or customer pickup at the Company’s facility.

Revenue from the sale of materials amounted to $8,202,279 and $0 for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Accounts receivable and allowance for credit losses

Accounts receivable and allowance for credit losses – Accounts receivable are receivables generated from sales to customers. Amounts included in accounts receivable are deemed to be collectible within the Company’s operating cycle. The Company recognizes accounts receivable at invoiced amounts. 

The Company adopted ASC 326, Current Expected Credit Losses, on January 1, 2023, which requires the measurement and recognition of expected credit losses using a current expected credit loss model. The allowance for credit losses on expected future uncollectible accounts receivable is estimated considering forecasts of future economic conditions in addition to information about past events and current conditions.

The allowance for credit losses reflects the Company’s best estimate of expected losses inherent in the accounts receivable balances. Management provides an allowance for credit losses based on the Company’s historical losses, specific customer circumstances, and general economic conditions. Periodically, management reviews accounts receivable and adjusts the allowance based on current circumstances and charges off uncollectible receivables when all attempts to collect have been exhausted and the prospects for recovery are remote. Recoveries are recognized when they are received. Actual collection losses may differ from the Company’s estimates and could be material to its consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. As of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company’s allowance for credit losses amounted to $160,075 and $0, respectively.

Inventory

Inventory – Inventory consists of dirt, sand, mulch and compost. The Company’s inventory is valued at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or net realizable value, and consists of all finished goods. As of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 there was inventory of $1,078,610 and $0, respectively.

Variable Interest Entities

Variable Interest Entities – The Company accounts for certain legal entities as variable interest entities (“VIE”). When evaluating a VIE for consolidation, the Company must determine whether or not there is a variable interest in the entity. Variable interests are investments or other interests that absorb portions of an entity’s expected losses or receive portions of the entity’s expected returns. If it is determined that the Company does not have a variable interest in the VIE, no further analysis is required and the VIE is not consolidated. If the Company holds a variable interest in a VIE, the Company consolidates the VIE when there is a controlling financial interest in the VIE and therefore are deemed to be the primary beneficiary. The Company is determined to have a controlling financial interest in a VIE when it has both the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the VIE that could potentially be significant to that VIE. This determination is evaluated periodically as facts and circumstances change. 

On July 23, 2024, the Company entered into a Joint Venture Agreement with Milk & Honey, for the purpose of establishing a joint venture to be conducted under the name of Sugar Phase for the purpose of developing and constructing single-family homes on five parcels of land located in Edinburg Texas (“Sugar Phase JV”). Each of the Company and Milk & Honey are referred to as a “Joint Venturer” and collectively are referred to as the “Joint Venturers.”

On March 6, 2025, the Company entered into a Buyout Agreement (the “Buyout Agreement”) with Milk & Honey, pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell to Milk & Honey the Company’s 60% membership interest (the “Interest”) in Sugar Phase, for a purchase price of $557,868, reflecting amounts contributed and costs incurred by the Company in connection with the Sugar Phase I project, to be evidenced by a one-year promissory note (the “Note”) in the principal amount of $557,868, bearing interest at 10% per annum.

The Buyout Agreement and Note provide that the Company’s Interest will be transferred to Milk & Honey incrementally as the Note is repaid. The closing under the Buyout Agreement occurred on March 7, 2025. In connection therewith, Milk & Honey prepaid $120,000 of the principal amount due under the Note and the Company transferred 10.27% of the Company’s Interest in the JV. As of December 31, 2025, the Company has received the full amount due. Additionally, the Company deconsolidated the activities of Sugar Phase during the year ended December 31, 2025 and determined it to be a discontinued operation. As of December 31, 2025 the Company did not hold an interest in Sugar Phase.

On September 2, 2024, the Company entered into a second Joint Venture Agreement with Milk & Honey, for the purpose of establishing a joint venture to be conducted under the name of Pulga Internacional for the purpose of developing an eco-friendly retail outlet on land located in Weslaco Texas (“Pulga JV”). The terms of the Pulga JV were similar to the Sugar Phase JV, with the exception that Milk & Honey had contributed land with an estimated appraisal value of $164,895, and the net profits of the Pulga JV was to be distributed 50% to the Company and 50% to Milk & Honey. Additionally on October 1, 2024, the Company and Milk & Honey entered into a joint venture to be conducted under the name of Hacienda Olivia Phase II LLC (“Hacienda Oliva”) which had no activity through July 15, 2025. As of July 15, 2025, the Pulga JV and Hacienda Oliva joint-venture entities with Milk & Honey were formally dissolved and ceased operations.

Investment Entities

Investment Entities — On May 31, 2021, the Company agreed to contribute $600,000 to acquire a 50% membership interest in Norman Berry II Owner LLC (“Norman Berry”). The Company contributed $350,329 and $114,433 of the initial $600,000 in the second quarter and third quarter of 2021 respectively, with the remaining $135,183 funded in the fourth quarter of 2021. The purpose of the investment in Norman Berry is to develop and provide affordable housing in the Atlanta, Georgia metropolitan area. The Company has determined it is not the primary beneficiary of Norman Berry and thus will not consolidate the activities in its financial statements. The Company will use the equity method to report the activities as an investment in its consolidated financial statements. As of December 31, 2025 the Company continued to hold a 50% interest in Norman Berry. The Norman Berry partnership recently obtained final city council and entitlement approval for the project. The next step involves completing the consolidation of the various lots into a single parcel, and the Company’s development team and surveyors are preparing the required documentation and submittals for city review and approval. Survey documents reflecting the approved M-I zoning designation are expected to be submitted to the city’s Planning Department for administrative review to obtain final parcel-map approval.

On June 24, 2021, the Company entered into an operating agreement with Jacoby Development for a 10% non-dilutable equity interest for JDI-Cumberland Inlet, LLC (“Cumberland”). The Company contributed $3,000,000 for its 10% equity interest. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company contributed an additional $25,000. The purpose of Cumberland is to develop a waterfront parcel in a mixed-use destination community. The Company has determined it is not the primary beneficiary of Cumberland and thus will not consolidate the activities in its consolidated financial statements. The Company will use the equity method to report the activities as an investment in its consolidated financial statements.

On February 11, 2025, the Company entered into an Amendment (this “February Amendment”) to the Operating Agreement, dated June 24, 2021 (the “Operating Agreement”), for Cumberland, by and between the Company and Jacoby Development Inc., a Georgia corporation (“JDI”), and a Forced Sale Agreement by and between the Company and JDI, pursuant to which Cumberland acquired the Company’s 10% equity interest (the “LLC Interest”) in Cumberland in exchange for a promissory note (the “Cumberland Note”) from Cumberland in the principal amount of $4.5 million. The Cumberland Note bears interest at the rate of 6.5% per annum, matures on February 6, 2026 and is secured by a pledge of a 10% equity interest in Cumberland. Payment of the Cumberland Note is also guaranteed by JDI. Due to uncertainty in the collection of the Cumberland Note as of December 31, 2025, the Company has recorded an allowance for credit losses in the amount of $4,500,000. As of December 31, 2025, due to possible uncollectability of the Cumberland Note the company has recorded an allowance for credit losses in the amount of $4,500,000, which resulted in bad debt expense of $3,025,000 and a reserve of $1,475,000 against a deferred gain on sale.

During the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, Norman Berry and Sugar Phase (prior to deconsolidation) did not have any material earnings or losses as the investments are in development. In addition, management believes there was no impairment as of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

As of December 31, 2025, the Company’s balance of equity-based investments is for its remaining investment in Norman Berry. As of December 31, 2024 the Company’s balance of equity-based investments related to its $3,000,000 investment in Cumberland and $642,607 investment in Norman Berry.

The Company has minimal cash and cash equivalents on hand as of December 31, 2025 and 2024.

Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment — Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated lives of each asset. Repairs and maintenance are charged to expense when incurred. Included in property, plant and equipment, are recoverable reserves acquired in connection with the Resource acquisition described below. Such reserves represent the approximately 9 million tons of entitled sand reserves on the land obtained in connection with the Resource acquisition as well. The estimated amount was based on third-party engineering and appraisal reports. Cost depletion on these depletable reserves is based upon units-of-production.

Intangible assets

Intangible assets — Intangible assets consist of $22,210 of website costs that will be amortized over 5 years, $1,028,323 of software development acquired in connection with the asset acquisitions described below and additional additions which will be amortized over 3 years, $5,458,400 of trade name in connection with the Resource acquisition described below, that will be amortized over 15 years, and $6,368,100 of a license agreement in connection with the Resource acquisition described below, that will be amortized over 10 years which is the life of the license.

Project Development Costs

Project Development Costs — Project development costs are stated at cost. At December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company’s project development costs are expenses incurred related to development costs on various projects that are capitalized during the period the project is under development.

Assets Held For Sale

Assets Held For Sale — During 2022, management implemented a plan to sell a 50+ acre Lake Travis project site in Lago Vista, Texas (“Lago Vista”), which meets all of the criteria required to classify it as an Asset Held For Sale. Including previous project development costs associated with Lago Vista of $824,231, the book value was $4,400,361.

On January 30, 2025, the Company entered into a definitive agreement with Lithe Development Inc., a Texas corporation (“Lithe”), for the sale of the Lago Vista Site. The agreed-upon purchase price for the property was $6,575,000. The Lithe sale was subsequently canceled, and Lago Vista continued to be actively marketed at that time.

On December 31, 2025, the Company entered into a Restructuring and Collateral Agreement (the “Restructuring Agreement”) relating to the outstanding promissory note in the principal amount of approximately $7.0 million, which comprised the LV Note and 2nd Lien Note as described in Note 8, including accrued interest, (collectively the “Outstanding Note”), pursuant to which, among other things:

LV Holding entered into a Loan Modification Agreement, dated December 31, 2025 (the “Loan Modification Agreement”),securing $2.0 million of the remaining balance of the Outstanding Note with its property in Durant, Oklahoma (the “Durant Property”),
LV Holding issued a conditional promissory note, dated December 31, 2025 (the “New Note”), in the principal amount of $5,000,000,
LV Holding delivered a Deed in Lieu of Foreclosure, dated December 31, 2025 (the “Deed”) and a Deed of Trust and Security Agreement, dated December 31, 2025 (the “Security Agreement”), for the benefit of the Lender relating to the Lago Vista Property,
The Company entered into a Pledge Agreement, dated December 31, 2025 (the “Pledge Agreement”), with the Lender pledging our 50% membership interest in NB Owners to Lender as collateral,
The Company entered into a Collateral Transfer of Note and Lien, dated December 31, 2025 (the “Collateral Transfer Agreement”), granting the Lender a security interest in a $209,333 promissory note executed by the Company payable to the Company, and the Company transferred to the Lender title to the Lago Vista property in exchange for the Lender’s agreement to conditionally extinguish $5.0 million of the Outstanding Note subject to the provisions of the Restructuring Agreement.

The Restructuring Agreement provides that upon the sale of the Lago Vista Property by the Lender, the Company will receive 70% of any net sale proceeds in excess of $5.0 million plus any additional new funds provided for finalization of the project, including accrued interest and/or penalties.

The New Note provides it will automatically go into effect on or before the date which is 24 months after its execution if: (i) the development, construction, flood-plain remediation, and all material improvements to the Lago Vista property have not been substantially completed in accordance with the agreed project plan or (ii) the entire outstanding indebtedness owed to the Lender is not paid, inclusive of the Outstanding Note and all amounts owed in respect of the Company’s property in Georgia or the Durant property, in which case the Lender may enforce the New Note in addition to retaining ownership of the Lago Vista Property. Upon effectiveness, the New Note will bear interest at the rate of 13.50% per annum, provide for interest only payments for 12 months and will mature on December 1, 2028.

In accordance with the aforementioned transactions the Company recognized a gain of $150,811, as a result of the removal of its assets held for sale and the extinguishment of $4,000,000 in notes payable and $551,172 in accrued interest, which is included in other income on the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.

Fair value measurements

Fair value measurements — Financial instruments, including accounts payable and accrued expenses are carried at cost, which the Company believes approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The short-term note payable is carried at cost which approximates fair value due to corresponding market rates. Financial instruments, such as derivative liabilities are measured at fair value at each reporting date (see Note 7 for additional information). 

Derivative liability

Derivative liability — The Company evaluates all features contained in financing agreements to determine if there are any embedded derivatives that require separate accounting from the underlying agreement under ASC 815 – Derivatives and Hedging. An embedded derivative that requires separation is accounted for as a separate liability or asset from the host agreement. The separated embedded derivative is accounted for at fair market value, with changes in fair value recognized in the statements of operations within the other financing costs line item. The Company determined that certain features under the October Private Placement (See Note 11 — Stockholders’ Equity) qualified as an embedded derivative. The derivative was accounted for separately from the underlying Series B Preferred Stock and is accounted for at fair value.

Income taxes

Income taxes — The Company accounts for income taxes utilizing the asset and liability approach. Under this approach, deferred taxes represent the future tax consequences expected to occur when the reported amounts of assets and liabilities are recovered or paid. The provision for income taxes generally represents income taxes paid or payable for the current year plus the change in deferred taxes during the year. Deferred taxes result from the differences between the financial and tax bases of the Company’s assets and liabilities and are adjusted for changes in tax rates and tax laws when changes are enacted.

The calculation of tax liabilities involves dealing with uncertainties in the application of complex tax regulations. The Company recognizes liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues based on the Company’s estimate of whether, and the extent to which, additional taxes will be due. If payment of these amounts ultimately proves to be unnecessary, the reversal of the liabilities would result in tax benefits being recognized in the period when the liabilities are no longer determined to be necessary. If the estimate of tax liabilities proves to be less than the ultimate assessment, a further charge to expense would result.

On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) was signed into law, extending key provisions of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act including, but not limited to, the restoration of 100% bonus depreciation, the introduction of new Section 174A permitting immediate expensing of domestic research and experimental expenditures, modifications to Section 163(j) interest expense limitations, updates to the rules governing global intangible low-taxed income, amendments to energy credit provisions, and the expansion of Section 162(m) aggregation requirements. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the OBBBA and an estimate of the impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements is not yet available.

Business Combinations

Business Combinations — The Company accounts for business acquisitions using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805 “Business Combinations”, which requires recognition and measurement of all identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their fair value as of the date control is obtained. The Company determines the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon its best estimates of the acquisition-date fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the acquisition. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired. Subsequent adjustments to fair value of any contingent consideration are recorded to the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. Costs that the Company incurs to complete the business combination are charged to general and administrative expenses as they are incurred.

For acquisitions of assets that do not constitute a business, any assets and liabilities acquired are recognized at their cost based upon their relative fair value of all asset and liabilities acquired.

Accounting Standards Recently Adopted

Accounting Standards Recently Adopted - On November 27, 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-07 Segment Reporting (Topic 280):

Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. Among other new disclosure requirements, ASU 2023-07 requires companies to disclose significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker. ASU 2023-07 is effective for annual periods beginning on January 1, 2024 and interim periods beginning on January 1, 2025.ASU 2023-07 must be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the consolidated financial statements.
