Description:
After two seasons using our NCR-SARE grant funded implements and equipment, we successfully expanded our production, doubled our revenue, hired new employees, and healed our bodies. The cohort farms report similar progress. Here's how!
Our farm recently received a SARE grant, which stands for Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education. This video showcases a demonstration of tractor cultivation for regenerative agriculture, focusing on increasing production and equipment sharing among multiple farms. We highlight these sustainable practices and feature a Farm to School event where students learned about innovative farming techniques and sampled fresh produce, emphasizing the importance of agriculture education.
