What is Regenerative Agriculture?

Regenerative Agriculture is a system of farming practices that focuses on promoting biodiversity, enriching soils, increasing carbon sequestration, and overseeing net-positive land stewardship.  We focus on improving soil health through the use of carbonaceous and living mulches, cover-cropping, and zero-tillage.  We support a diversity of life in the fields with native pollinator plantings and our commitment to using no conventional or organic chemical interventions that disrupt life in the soil or the balance of nature. 

 

Our mission on the farm is to produce nutrient-dense and delicious food that contributes to the health and well-being of our community, while also giving more back to the land and ecosystem-at-large than we take.  Regenerative practices help us do just that. 

 

Why don't we till our soil?

Tilling destroys the vast underground microbial network known as the mycorhyzzi, and disrupts the fungal and bacterial balance in the soil that lays the foundation for plant health. A healthy soil microbiome will vector nutrients and moisture to plant roots, making them healthier and more resilient. We believe that healthy plants create better tasting, and more nutrient-dense food that helps support the well-being of our community.   Tilling also releases incredible amounts of carbon into the atmosphere; whereas Regenerative practices serve to sequester more carbon, helping to mitigate the human impact on global climate change.  We believe Regenerative Agricultural practices hold the key to a better future for our health, and for the health of the planet.
