🍚 Sourcing from other farms to fuel future growth
“We were using lots and lots of synthetic fertilizer. Lots of tillage, lots of water, lots of fungicides, lots of insecticides. Our job as farmers in the old way, was we wanted as much of a laboratory in that field as we could get. We wanted it sterile. Looking forward to today, you know, my farm looks more like a zoo because my job as a regenerative farmer is to bring in as much life as I can into my ecosystem. And I tell people all the time, look, I've got a habitat and I've got a farm. They coexist with one another. The habitat is home to millions and millions of millions of living organisms, both above and below the surface of the soil. And then within this ecosystem, within this habitat, we're raising food. And to me, that's exciting.”
