Farming status, plans, and practices
Regenerative Livestock Farm. We do not implement the use of any herbicides, fertilizers, insecticides, fungicides in our operation. We implement the natural flow of rotational grazing cattle and pastured poultry to increase the lands resiliences and natural/ecological behavior. I pride ourselves on the fact that i am a steward to my land and animals, and all must work together to create a natural environment built to thrive. Looking for warm season grazing and production for my operations, during the winter months the flocks/herd will return home to be under my care.
