How to Start a Regenerative Farm from Scratch

Have you ever wanted to start a regenerative farm from scratch? In this video, the Heifer USA team traveled to North Carolina to visit Grass Grazed Farm, a regenerative farm where founders Derrick and Paige Jackson have established and grown a successful business in just two years. In the community of Rougemont, just outside Durham, Grass Grazed Farm raises pastured poultry, forested pork, grass fed beef, grass fed dairy, and laying hens following regenerative agriculture practices.

Heifer USA interviewed the Jacksons about the process of starting their farm - and now, we're sharing their advice with you! Keep watching to learn every step the Jacksons took to build Grass Grazed Farm.
