Regenerative Agriculture
Our family started this farm using regenerative agriculture techniques. This means there’s no tilling, no pesticides, and no bare soil. At the same time, we are promoting biodiversity through the use of biologically active compost and perennial ground cover. These practices help to regenerate soil, improves water retention, and sequesters carbon from the atmosphere.
