  You are an Urban Food Forest Powerhouse!

  Some people may think you can't be regenerative in an urban setting, but you're not one of them!You're someone who walks down the street and wonders why the town planted ornamental cherries instead of a tasty fruiting variety. And you've probably been caught foraging the Kousa Dogwood fruit or the Serviceberries no one ever thought to pick. There's a section of the city park that's the perfect spot for a community food forest - and you're scheming how to make it happen. That's because you know that trees are incredibly impactful in an urban environment, and you aren't afraid to take action to get more in the ground! Check your email for more tips & how to's on how to live regeneratively!Here's some quick starting points:1. Improve Air Quality! — For every 10% increase in urban tree canopy, ozone is reduced by 3-7%. 2. Cools spaces & homes! — Trees reduce temperatures by shade and transpiring water. Studies have even proven that one mature tree can produce the same cooling effect as 10 room-sized air conditioners. This becomes an effective tool in reducing urban heat and hot spots in cities.3. Community food access! — Food bearing trees provide a secondary benefit of providing food access! Grow fruits, nuts, etc to bring more free food into your city!“We can begin by doing small things at the local level, like planting community gardens or looking out for our neighbors.

  You are a Homesteading Green Thumb!

  Whether you have a postage stamp yard or several acres, you know you can make a dent in your food bill, improve your health, and do your part for the planet by growing your own fruits, veggies, and herbs. Every nook and cranny of your yard, patio, deck, or roof can become a productive garden space for you and your family, and you are taking action to make it happen. Who knows, maybe you'll even end up with extra to share with your neighbors or sell by the roadside!Check your email for more tips & how to's on how to live regeneratively!Here's some quick starting points:1. Improve Food Quality! — Fruits & Vegetables that ripen in the garden have more nutrients than some store-bought that must be picked early for transport. Improved nutrition can have a huge positive effect on your health.2. Support local food systems! — It's no surprise to any gardener, sometimes they grow way more than they could ever use. This provides an amazing opportunity to support your local community with real, nutrition dense food, maybe even start your own CSA!3. Off-set food bills! — UC Cooperative surveyed 85 community gardeners and 50 home gardeners in San Jose. By growing their own food, home gardeners saved on average $92 per month and community gardeners saved $84 per month. With inflation, you know this is now much higher!“We can begin by doing small things at the local level, like planting community gardens or looking out for our neighbors.

  You are a Homesteading Food Forester!

  Image Source

  Whether you have a postage stamp yard or several acres, you know you can make a dent in your food bill, improve your health, and do your part for the planet by turning your land into a food forest! Because of their stacked types of plants and trees, food forests can grow many times as much food in the same space as more traditional systems.Every nook and cranny of your yard can be filled with multiple layers of trees, shrubs, vines, herbs, fruits, and veggies for you and your family, and you are taking action to make it happen! Check your email for more tips & how to's on how to live regeneratively!Here's some quick starting points:1. Grow more in the same area! — Because of the layers of a food forest, you can grow a variety of things in the same area. With a canopy of fruit, underlayer of edible shrubs, and ground cover of berries, this is just one example of the stacking that can be done! 2. Low maintenance! — Because food forests are designed to mimic mother nature, they are low need/low input! Perennial plants generally have deeper root systems than small, annual plants, so they can reach further into the soil for the water they need. Since permaculture food forests do not require chemical fertilizers or pesticides, they produce much healthier foods and products as well.3. Offer long season harvests! — Spring asparagus, summer berries, fall apples, root crops through early winter and even into the following spring — depending on your climate, a food forest can have something to offer nearly year-round.“We can begin by doing small things at the local level, like planting community gardens or looking out for our neighbors.

  You are a Homesteading Animal Lover!

  Image Source

  Whether you have a postage stamp yard or several acres, you know you can make a dent in your food bill, improve your health, and do your part for the planet by raising livestock regeneratively at home. From rabbits, to chickens, to mini dairy cows, there's a lot you can do to meet your needs for protein with just a few acres or less. And while some people are concerned about keeping animals in smaller spaces, it's all about the math! Evaluate stacking and animal density to start your own livestock operation, whether for fun or for profit!Check your email for more tips & how to's on how to live regeneratively!Here's some quick starting points:1. Start making food! — Backyard farm animals can be beneficial for your food production on a small scale. Even if you have a small backyard, you can try raising chickens or a few ducks. Backyard animals also offer benefits to the yard. They are natural fertilizers, so your soil remains healthy as the manure provides nutritional value. Birds also naturally "till" the yard with both their feet and beaks eliminating weeds and allowing air and water space. Another added benefit for sustainability? Bugs! Backyard birds naturally feast on bugs helping to take care of pests. Fewer pests can not only provide for a more comfortable environment but can help your floral or vegetable garden thrive. (Make sure you are rotationally grazing any and all livestock!)2. Farm Education! — A backyard farm can be an educational opportunity for all. The animals teach us about their way of life. It is a way to role-model responsibility, dedication, nurturing. Families can have the opportunity to learn about running a small business if they choose to sell eggs or meat from animals. There are marketing and financial plans to understand and implement. The business can also be a way for the family to bond, especially if they participate in a farmer's market or sell at local community events. “We can begin by doing small things at the local level, like planting community gardens or looking out for our neighbors.

  You are an Up-and-Coming Regen Livestock Farmer!

  We're showing our bias here, but we think animals are the biggest moooovers of regeneration! Maybe you're just starting to dream about buying land. Maybe you are already busy establishing your processes and growing your herds. Or perhaps you are farming and ready to make the shift to regenerative livestock practices. Whatever your situation, you are positioning yourself to make a big difference in the world around you. As an up-and-coming regenerative livestock farmer, you have an opportunity to provide your community the most nutritious protein and dairy products around, while also regenerating the soil by leaps and bounds. In addition, you can teach classes, give tours, and use social media to inspire others to embrace regenerative principles. Check your email for more tips & how to's on how to live regeneratively!Here's some quick starting points:1. Regenerate, regenerate! — With regenerative grazing: soil health is improved, paddocks are more resilient to climate variability, a more nutrient dense food supply is produced, water retention increases, GHGs are sequestered, livestock receive a happy amount of feed, dependence on chemical inputs is reduced, beneficial microbial life is brought back to the rhizosphere, and biodiversity improves in the form of native plants and animals.2. Animals are multipurpose! — We love that animals can provide a variety of functions. If regenerating soil wasn't enough, animals can provide meats, dairy products, eggs, wool and so much more. We think they are magical, the way they eat forages that we can't digest and turn them into nutrition-rich foods!“We can begin by doing small things at the local level, like planting community gardens or looking out for our neighbors.
