  • 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 travelled 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.
    We 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.

We bought 57 acres, started raising our own chickens with natural ingredients like wild flowers seeds and sunflower seeds,etc. We raised rabbits, ducks, guineas (they eat ticks!) and turkeys too. We grow our own food also!

    I'm a retired dairy grazier, who farmed in southern Ohio. It is so great to see young farmers bringing new energy and ideas to farming, especially people of color. America needs more young farmers who are willing to challenge the old ways, and rural areas need a lot more diversity. "Farm to fork" is brilliant. I wish you all the best of luck and the determination to persevere. God bless and God speed.

      94% of farmers on this planet are small, homegrown farms. The issue is that the small 6 percent of factory farms in this world take up 45 percent of agricultural land on this planet... we don't need more farmers, we need people to stop being so scared of farming anything more than 10 acres. I can not tell you how many hundreds of people I've met who claim to be farmers and only do so on one acre, or even a quarter of an acre... its pathetic, they think that if they can keep their land small, they won't have as much work... if you're going into agriculture to not work, you're going in for ALL the wrong reasons, and you shouldn't even be considering it.

I was not a fan of Obama but what I did like is that his winning the presidency inspired many black people and seeing this couple do this makes me think maybe I can do it to. If you see many positive representations of yourself it might be hard to see why this would matter to others.

    Seeing those beautiful little children sit around the table filling their little stomachs with food from the hard work of what this man and his wife have prepared. As a man, this touched me deeply. Sometimes what you do to provide, nobody will know, and nobody will say thank you. But just seeing them eat up and put that fried chicken in their little mouths. Man. This is what life is about

    This is great. They're talking about 400 hens for laying and I want 12 lol. Starting is the hard part for sure. We've been saving for the building rinse, wash, and repeat for lack of better terms. That's also a possible way to do things for folks who don't have a ton of capital. We set a five year goal to build, so long term. We had the cash to shop for land when we set the goal. We found land paid cash. Saved for three years got the well. Saved another year put in the foundation and built a good shed. Next build the house. I won't lie, it's SO MUCH WORK! But nothing in life is easy. Good on these folks for working to achieve their goals. I think in my personal opinion of course that if more folks worked towards a positive goal we'd have way less issues to deal with. Mostly cause we'd all be too busy for messing around with nonsensical matters!!
