Why not just throw your food scraps in the trash?

When food waste ends up in landfills, it turns into CO2, which only contributes more to our changing climate. The fastest way to not only STOP but REVERSE climate change is through the soil. Regenerative agriculture focuses on soil health through the use of animal systems like cattle in rotational grazing, pigs in turning and fertilizing for gardens, and cover crops to keep topsoil from blowing away.

What is "regenerative agriculture"?

Regenerative agriculture works with Nature's natural systems, utilizing animals (for turning soil, grazing, and fertility) and planting native crops to bring an ecosystem back into balance. Through the implementation of swales, silvopastures, and cover-crop planting, these methods sequester carbon, sink water, and bring barren soil back to life!

Where are the pigs?!

We are very proud to partner with Yellow Barn Farm (YBF) and Drylands Agroecology Research (DAR) to pilot our pig program, delivering food scraps to feed DAR's pigs working the land at YBF.
Interested in seeing the pigs at work? Join the last Farm Hop tour of the season on Oct 26th of both Elk Run Farm and Yellow Barn Farm!
