Our food systems have been stretched to the edge of their capacity in recent years, due to climate, illness, and geopolitical conflict.
Increasingly, people are searching for local food providers who tend their soil with care, knowing that healthy food comes from healthy soil.
Modern mega-agribusinesses have traded profitability for soil health, a choice that’s had disastrous effects on soil health and has unfortunately impacted our bodies. The chemical-laden agribusiness strategies strip the soil of nutrients and poison our bodies.
There is another way! There is another way that also provides for the farmer by increasing the amount of food they can provide.
And it all starts with the soil.
Soil expert and agroecologist Nicole Masters has created a platform around soil regeneration, and she works with farmers to educate them on creating the best possible soil on their land.
Masters’ work equips farmers to reduce their chemical load into the soil and regenerate richness in the soil without impacting the farmer’s bottom line.
At Saint John’s Organic Farm, we actively educate ourselves on soil health, and our regenerative farm utilizes grazing practices that steward the health of our soil for future generations!
