Regenerative Farming

Healthy Soil = Healthy Food = Healthy People

What is Regenerative Farming?

Industrial farming practices, with their reliance on chemical fertilizers, pesticides and preventive antibiotics, carry negative consequences for both our ecosystem and consumers. Unfortunately, those negative impacts are compounded year after year.

Regenerative farming is just different. Regenerative farmers work to reverse those negative impacts, rehabilitate the land and enhance our natural resources, rather than deplete them. This type of farming focuses on things like improving soil health, eliminating the use of biocidal chemicals, enhancing water retention, expanding biological diversity and treating both our animals and ecosystem with greater love and respect. This isn’t something crazy or new. As human beings, it has always been our role to be caretakers of the world we live in.

The solution for healing our planet is farming. Not just business-as-usual industrial farming, but farming like the Earth matters.”

Why Should You Care?

Fresh air. Clean water. Healthy food. Those are three great reasons to care about where your food comes from and how it is produced. Regenerative practices help farmers produce healthy foods and raise healthy livestock without the use of unnecessary antibiotics, hormones, fertilizers, and other chemicals. Recent scientific reviews, focused on nutrition, found evidence that sustainably sourced, naturally produced foods are more nutritious and have significantly greater levels of vitamin C, antioxidants and omega-3 fatty acids.

Check out the picture on the left. One morning, for some reason, there was a store-bought egg in our refrigerator. So, I decided to capture the contrast between the quality of our farm fresh eggs and those mass produced from a local grocery store. The egg from our farm is the one on top. Look at that yoke. There is no comparison in taste or nutritional profile. Quality food may cost a little more but it is worth it. We are proud to be a regenerative farm.
