Goals, Values, Vision

Our goal is to find 40-100 acres to farm regeneratively with focus on humane animal husbandry. We focus our land management to graze ass many months of the yalear as possibly. We also provide science backed rest in between rotations. 

Our vision is to have a full time farm job (by income, not hours worked), Graze 9-10 months out of the year, Support one leg of our family, and possibly raise our children into a farming career path. 

Tools that could help us, would be secure land acces, a plan for purchase/transition of ownership that reflects farm vlaue over developmentmarket prices, and infrastructure development.

Organic Practices

We use regenerative grazing with frequent rotations. To build organic matter. We focus land rest based on species, land fertility, and soil indicator speices. We dont use herbicides, pesticides, etc. But we will do soil amendment as needs to assist with soil building.
