Combining the best practices of permaculture, agroforestry, and sustainable husbandry, our farm implements agricultural systems that are not just sustainable but regenerative: good for the climate, the soil, and all the creatures who inhabit them.
We use holistic management to organize the grazing, browsing, scratching, and rooting of our animals in the pastures, hedgerows, woodlots, and creek bottoms that make up our property. Developed by Allan Savory, a former wildlife biologist and farmer from Zimbabwe, holistic management relies on the natural symbiosis of ruminants like cattle and sheep and perennial grasses, which need clipping, trampling, and periods of rest in order to thrive. Studies suggest that when done properly, holistic management creates resilient agricultural systems that capture more carbon in the atmosphere than the farm operation releases as a whole. They also suggest that it is far more beneficial to the environment than the conventional row crop production of vegetables.
