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 did the same thing...we wanted to be self sufficient. My wife has lupus so what we eat is critically important! We knew the economy was going crumble in 2008. 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.

Thank you for sharing such a beautiful story. This gave me extra motivation to honor my mother's memory by growing my own food on my land. She always wanted to do it. Cancer took her life at the early age of 54 years young:( (before she got a chance to). This video was uploaded on my birthday so this gives me confirmation:) Wishing you and the Jackson's continued blessings and success in all that you do. Stay safe and healthy!

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!!

How they are working with one another instead of against one another is also spirit building, MAAT.

Farming is extremely hard work. People have this vision of some dude in overalls feeding chickens. Nope. I had lots of friends that were farmers. During harvest they would work from 4 am to 9 pm of hard labor. You have to be born into it to really do it well and make it profitable. I have the most respect for farmers. It’s work I couldn’t do. If these people can do it God bless them and I hope they really succeed and thrive.
