Our Story
Our conception of farming and ranching is that it should be like the Garden of Eden
We let cows be cows, chickens be chickens, vegetables be vegetables. We let our animals graze on fresh grass and enjoy the fresh air. We grow fruits and vegetables in a natural environment, without coating them in insecticides and poisons. We nurture the natural rhythms of life and the earth to bring you the healthiest food on planet Earth.
The way industrialized food gets to your dinner table is not okay.
The huge industrial food factories for animal processing (CAFOS), crop dusters spraying toxic chemicals that kill “everything”, including the bees we need to pollinate and grow food. Sanitizing the soil so that only one crop can grow, and only after you pour thousands of gallons of nitrates and fertilizers on the land. Not to mention the thousands of laws and regulations that won’t allow you to buy from your local farmer without the state or federal government looking over your shoulder and either flat out “forbidding” your purchase or requiring their “tithe” in taxes to do it.
Too many of our concepts of farming are dismal.
Depression dust bowls, the land rich, but financially “poor” farmer with millions in equipment who struggle to pay their loans, and can’t make any money farming.
Our goal is to change the story.
Using organic, natural, multidimensional farming and ranching techniques, our goal is to satisfy three very important goals.
1) Provide the healthiest meat and vegetables on the planet
2) Continuously regenerate and improve the soil we use to allow our farm to thrive
3) Do our small, but vital part towards regreening the earth and capturing carbon from the atmosphere
Our philosophy
We focus on the sun, energy, grass cycle and use grazing and foraging animals to successfully manage our operation. Many of you are familiar with Joel Salatin and Gabe Brown. Joel says he is a “grass farmer” and Gabe calls himself a “rancher”. Both are using active management and animals to create abundancy on their farms. Everything builds off of the health of the grass and soil, especially the health of the animals. These are the same philosophies and techniques we use on our own farm.
By managing grass and grass disturbance by keeping animals moving, you build great soil because your animals don’t have the opportunity to overgraze. Grass is allowed to recover and flourish and stay healthy. The use of animals and grass in a virtuous and active management cycle is the optimal way to manage the health of the grass and soil and animals.
The benefits of doing this are profound. And once you account for new soil drawing and fixing carbon out of the atmosphere, it provides even more evidence that this is the only meaningful, renewable, and reasonable path forward for agriculture and food production for our planet.
