This is the farm crew earlier this week gearing up for work after lunch. It was enormous and they got a lot done and had a lot of fun doing it. Thanks to Cory Carman for sharing the teenager ranch hands from Carman Ranch here at Hickory Nut Gap. All these young folks are interested in agriculture and conservation and working hard. Super proud of them for digging in and being helpful.

Happy Monday morning on July 1st! I thought it would be nice to send out the sunrise as we enter the heart of summer time here at the farm. It’s been a busy spring here at Hickory Nut Gap with plenty of rain through May but we are starting to get a little dry. The good news is that with regenerative grazing, there is plenty of soil cover and very little bare ground so when we do get a short rain or heavy dew in the morning, the shaded soil surface stays cool and the moisture has a chance to stay in contact with the soil longer. A big benefit of regenerative grazing is resiliency to drought. Keep up the good work everyone!

We were thrilled to participate in and host a Regenerative Agriculture On-Farm Education Event in collaboration with our friends at Land to Market and Caney Fork Farms. Set against the picturesque backdrop of Caney Fork Farms, our Farm Director, Virginia Hamilton, conducted an enlightening field demonstration on EOV (Ecological Outcome Verification). Additionally, our friend Asher Wright, Caney Fork's Farm Director, delivered an engaging talk covering topics ranging from grazing practices and land management to crop rotation and cattle. Many thanks to the hardworking folks that helped put this event together; it was truly a pleasure to see old friends and get down in the dirt!? The science behind EOV is brought to you by the Savory Institute. Hickory Nut Gap is an accredited Savory Hub for the region, where folks can participate in hands-on classes and learn from experts in the field. ? #eov #ecologicaloutcomeverification #savoryinstitute #regenerative #regenerativefarming #caneyforkfarms #landtomarket #pasturemanagement #croprotation
