Regenerative Agriculture
At Grazing Patch Farm, we regenerate the land 'one patch at a time'.
Our pasture-raised animals move regularly to fresh grass in such a way that pastures and forests improve year over year. The animals thrive in this environment as they get to do what they do best: chickens scratch, pigs root and sheep graze.
Our hope is to increase resilience to climate extremes. Our soils possess an increased water holding capacity and are better able to withstand droughts while preventing erosion and nutrient loss during floods. As we build our top soil, we increase carbon capture which feeds more nutrients back to the plants and ultimately back to the animals.
Our livestock is carefully integrated into forest forage which means they have shade when it's hot and shelter when it's cold. The diversity of tree leaves, needles and bark provides medicinal value. This adds to the overall health of our animals and means we raise them chemical free (no hormones, additives, chemicals, etc.). In addition to their daily pasture forage, we feed organic grains to our chickens and pigs. This results in healthy and happy animals, climate resilience and ultimately the most delicious and nutritious meat and eggs you’ll find!
