At Simple Mills, we're nuts about almonds! We're still smiling following the latest chapter of our regenerative agriculture work: an incredible Soil Health Academy in California's Central Valley! We're proud to have partnered with leading soil health educators at Soil Health Academy and pioneering regenerative growers at Burroughs Family Farms to host this inaugural academy focused on practical and profitable implementation of #regenerativeagriculture in orchard systems. Together with almost 100 attendees (including 14 from the Simple Mills team!), we explored how regenerative principles can be applied in almond orchards to positively impact farm economics, ecosystem health, and human health. The rows of bare soil, high input usage, and harvest from the orchard floor that define traditional almond production often feel at odds with regenerative principles, but Benina Burroughs Montes is truly questioning the status quo in this industry and refusing to take "that's how it's always been done" as an answer. From pioneering off-ground harvesting equipment to grazing sheep throughout the orchards, the Burroughs family is re-writing the story of CA almonds and stewarding orchards that honor the health of people and our planet. A MASSIVE thank you to the Burroughs family for opening their farm and home to us, to our incredible educators Chuck Schembre, CPSS, Gabe Brown, Allen Williams, Fernando Falomir, and everyone who made the time to join us. What an amazing event!
