I have heard that Sprouts and Natural Grocers both give priority to local producers!

Or change the date…

That sounds amazing! I need to start a batch now that it’s finally cold enough.

I feel like it’s a vital part of the recovery of fields and pastures. Animals have been used as tools to turn over the land for centuries, it seems like we’re finally acknowledging their role in the cycle! It’s something I’m very excited about.

It’s so sad that as government workers they make so little.. reform is so necessary

I completely agree. When I hear regenerative land management I quickly think of pasture seeding, soil testing and monitoring, rotational grazing with multiple livestock varieties, and layering in an orchard as the livestock turn over shrubs down. I think it’s more of a philosophy less a practice.

So wrong in so many ways. I swear BigAg will lessen the value of regenerative products on shelves by “tainting” it. The same way they get away with so much already with the Organic certification.

I agree there should be a regenerative standard in place that further niches down the certification, giving buyers a real choice in how they vote with their purchases. I just hope that the regenerative movement will not become another placard to slap on food much like the organic certification.

There's a decent paper analyzing ag-space terms:

Awesome read! Thank you

Stunning view! Looks a lot like what we see in Oklahoma.
