The implementation of several practices that contribute to the health of our soils, our land, our biodiversity, our animals and those who work on them.

  • Milk

Regenerative Practices

  • Minimize soil disturbance
    • Minimum-till 
      Minimum tillage is a soil cultivation practice that reduces the number, depth (0-10 cm), and intensity of tillage operations (no inversion of the soil) to minimize soil disturbance.
  • Keep the soil covered and maintain living roots year-round
    • Cover crops 
      Plants grown alongside, preceding, or following cash crops with the purpose of increasing soil fertility, reducing soil erosion, and suppressing weeds.
  • Protect and enhance biodiversity
    • Diverse crop rotations 
      Planting crops with different characteristics in sequence on the same field over time
  • Optimize input use
    • Manure 
      Manure (also known as livestock manure) is a type of soil amendment rich in nitrogen that integrates soil organic matter back into the soil and feeds the soil food web.
  • Maintain living roots year-round (agroforestry and perennials)
    • Windbreaks 
      A single row or multiple rows of trees and shrubs to break the force of winds.
    • Riparian buffers 
      Mixed woody and non-woody species planted along the edges of bodies of water (streams, rivers, lakes, or ponds).
    • Native perennial vegetation conservation 
      The conservation of existing—or reintroduction of—native perennial vegetation, those that occur naturally in a region in which it evolved. it includes grasslands, woodlands, wetlands, and coastal habitats.
  • Improve water cycles
    • Preserve and restore natural ecosystems

      Observations

      • Increased animal and human well-being with the construction of a barn entirely on bed pack, resulting in improved longevity and a work organization that contributes to a better quality of life for those who work there
      • Many windbreaks and riparian buffer strips planted over the past 25 years, beautifying the landscape. More planting planned over the next few years.
