Where Soil and Soul Meet

We are a regenerative farm and educational center providing organic, locally sourced produce and educational opportunities, internships, and year-round trainings.

What if we could mitigate climate change, increase access to local, nutritious foods, and provide meaningful employment with one single dollar?

OUR METHODS

Organic and Sustainable are no longer enough. Here's why:

Soils are the basis of life, with over 95% of food being grown within the top 5-10 inches. In 2015, the UN warned of the issue of declining soil fertility and erosion, estimating that there are 60 harvests left before our topsoils become too barren to feed the planet. While organic farming abstains from the use of synthetic agrochemicals, it does not necessarily aim to improve various ecosystem services regenerative agriculture sets out to, such as increasing biodiversity above and below ground, soil fertility, and community dynamics. To create lasting change, we must move beyond organic. We must regenerate.
