Why Regenerative Farming

At our farm, we believe that growing the very best food begins with healthy soil. That’s why we follow regenerative farming practices — a way of farming that restores the land, strengthens ecosystems, and produces more nutritious food for our community.

Iowa's First Regenerative Verified Farm

We are proud to be certified Regenerative Verified™ through Soil Regen, an independent third-party organization dedicated to measuring and validating regenerative agriculture. This certification means our practices aren’t just promises — they’re backed by rigorous testing and verification.

The Certification Process

Earning the Regenerative Verified seal isn’t easy. Here’s what it takes:

1. Baseline Soil Testing: Measuring soil organic matter, microbial activity, and nutrient balance.
   
2. On-Farm Audits: Reviewing our grazing practices, crop rotations, and input use to ensure we’re building soil health and biodiversity.
   
3. Continuous Improvement: We submit updated soil data and management records each year to prove that we’re moving in the right direction.
   
4. Community & Transparency: Sharing results and practices with Soil Regen helps raise the bar for regenerative farmers everywhere.
   

When you see the Regenerative Verified label, you know that the food comes from land that is healing, not being depleted.

Why You Should Eat Regenerative Food

Healthy soil creates healthier plants and animals, resulting in food that is:

• Higher in key nutrients like vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.
• Unmatched in flavor and freshness, thanks to balanced, living soils.
• Free from synthetic chemical residues, since our system relies on natural cycles instead of heavy inputs.
  
• Better for the planet - regenerative farming sequesters carbon, improves water retention, and increases biodiversity.

When you eat regeneratively, you’re not only nourishing your body — you’re supporting farming that leaves the land better for future generations.

Our Commitment

Regenerative farming is a mindset of working with nature instead of against it. Every chicken we raise on pasture, every rotation we plan, and every seed we plant is part of a larger cycle of renewal.

By choosing our farm, you’re choosing food that is:

• The most nutrient-dense
• The best tasting
• Good for animals
• Good for the soil
• Good for the planet
