Our Methodology
We are actively seeking opportunities to lease pastureland to establish sustainable, humane grazing operations. We seek to keep existing family farms operational and to preserve vital open space. Our goal is to create a sustainable, profitable grass-based organization that is good for the land, wildlife and the overall environment. We utilize rotational grazing to ensure a sound approach to profit and preservation. We strongly believe that well managed pastureland is wildlife friendly and very capable of being a profitable agricultural operation.
