Regenerative Agriculture

We are passionate both about the health of our animals and the health of our land and are constantly studying and implementing regenerative agricultural practices.

We work with federal and state entities to develop grazing, fertilization, and pasture management plans to ensure that we are following scientifically based best-practices. These include:

• Fencing with measured stand-offs so that animal waste run-off is minimized to the Chesapeake Bay Watershed.
• Soil testing: We test each pasture to analyze the nutrients requirements and apply lime and fertilizer only at the approved rates. We also apply these in accordance with a nutrient management plan that we received from Maryland Department of Agriculture, Nutrient Management Program.
• Rotational Grazing has many health benefits for the health of the animals and for the health of the land. We maintain multiple pastures with a central waterer so that our pastures have adequate time to grow and rest.
