Regenerative agriculture is the science, art, or occupation concerned with providing ample, nutritious food; improving local economies equitably; building soil fertility; restoring biodiversity, water cycling, and water quality; and using natural processes to achieve climate stability by restoring carbon and other nutrients to the soil.

Spot the #Mantis!
Our goat team assistant, Mukethe Kawinzi, took this cool photo of a praying mantis working through tall grass. Did you spot it?
An important part of regenerative ranching is respecting, appreciating, celebrating, and incorporating nature’s #diversity.
Mantises are ferocious carnivores known to eat hornets, spiders, grasshoppers, katydids, small reptiles, amphibians, and even hummingbirds!
According to the University of California, Agriculture & Natural Resources, Statewide Integrated Pest Management Program, there are nine known species of mantids in California, which makes it hard to identify the one in the photo, though we think it’s the native Stagmomantis californica. Though, we are happy to be corrected!
