They're BAAAAAck! 🐑 These sheep are hard at work getting our Mendocino County vineyards ready for the growing season. Grazing is a hallmark of regenerative farming: it reduces our reliance on tractors, keeps weeds in check, and enriches the soil. 📸 Grazing in our Blue Heron vineyard along the Russian River, which flows through the oak tree line (a Blue Heron rookery we protect).

Not all vegetables get along in the garden! 🌱 In this video, we dive into the world of vegetable frenemies—plants that shouldn’t be grown or rotated together. Understanding these relationships is key to successful farming. When you know which crops compete for nutrients, attract the same pests, or stunt each other's growth, you can plan your garden better for healthier plants and bigger yields. At Agridemy, we’re here to help you grow smarter and more effectively. Knowledge is the foundation of good farming practices, and we’re committed to empowering you every step of the way. #companionplanting #smartfarming #growyourownfood #gardeningtips #agridemy #sustainablefarming

Are you a cattle rancher? Are you a farmer? Are you an ag investor? Are you a cattle rancher in a part of the world where snow, freezing rain, and otherwise nasty weather can persist well into April and May? What time of year do you have your cattle calving? Is calving in January, February, or March a difficult time of year with sleepless nights checking on cows, loading half frozen calves into pickup trucks to warm up, feeding large amounts of stored feeds? What does all of that cost? Why are folks calving out their cow herds in the dead of winter? Think about that phrase, "the dead of winter." In your region, when do wild ungulates; deer, elk, moose, pronghorn... when do they have their young? If you are a a rancher or farmer who prefers signing the back of the check over signing the front of it (thank you, Gabe Brown), and you want to learn how to do that repeatedly, check out Soil Health Academy and Understanding Ag, LLC - Experts in Regenerative Ag! There are learning opportunities all across North America, the UK, and soon - the EU! Remember these two things: 1) If your ag operation isn't profitable, regardless of scale or where you are located in the world, your operation is unsustainable and non-regenerative. Financial profitability is part and parcel to regenerative agriculture - farming and ranching in synchrony with nature. 2) "Whether you think you can or think you can't, you're right." - quote attributed to Thomas Jefferson.

Moving our pigs to new pasture is no small feat, it takes hard work and patience. But the reward is worth every step. By rotating them through paddocks, we give the land time to rest and our pigs the quality of life they deserve. Happy pigs, healthier soil, and sustainable farming, one pasture at a time. #pastureraised #pasturedpork #pasturetoplate #regenerativefarming #regenerativeagriculturemovement #organicpork
