Our focus is on regenerative farm practices.
The challenge facing 21st century agriculture is to design new models and systems that regenerate ecosystems while producing healthy food. Regenerative farming is important because it focuses on creating sustainable farming systems that are beneficial for both people and the planet. It helps to address many of the challenges facing modern agriculture, including climate change, soil degradation, reduced chemical inputs, and food insecurity.
Regenerative agriculture is a farming and grazing approach that focuses on restoring and enhancing the health of the soil rather than just sustaining its current state.
Regenerative agriculture prioritizes practices that mimic natural ecosystems, working with nature rather than against it. At its core, it seeks to improve soil health, increase biodiversity, sequester carbon, and enhance water retention while producing nutritious food.
Our farm works in harmony with nature.
01
Improving soils
Pasture plant diversification, livestock adds nutrients, organic compost and other inputs
02
No tilling
Instead of tilling, we utilize no till seed drills and frost seeding to increase plant diversity which in turn boosts soil microbiomes. These practices leave little/ no soil disturbance, while
requiring few trips over fields and
provides the most surface residue cover and runoff/ erosion protection
03
Planting native species
Hedgerows and other plantings to increase pollinator habitat, birds, biodiversity. This practice involves planting species that are native to a specific area. Native plants are beneficial in restoring wildlife habitat and improving biodiversity.
04
No chemical inputs
Chemical inputs like herbicides, insecticides, fungicides, and synthetic fertilizers degrade soil health. They alter soil pH, degrade its structure, and increase dependency on these chemicals, leading to higher costs for farmers and pollution of water sources. Regenerative agriculture eliminates the need for these chemicals by relying on healthy soil to support thriving ecosystems.
