Regenerative farmers can be sane, scientifically literate, Black, Indigenous, non-religious, non-crunchy, non-alt-right, feminist, accepting of plant based diets, urban born, and a heterosexual male, all at the same time.

Houston, TX farmer here just saying hello. I focus on regenerative agriculture, regional food systems, and community resilience. Sometimes I go a-hiking and I will talk your ear off about soil science.
