I've been to the White House every time in my 71 years that I've been invited. I've been invited twice in the past year. And, if I get invited this year, or in 5 years, I will go again. Not because I put our elected officials on a pedestal. I just go to help. I often find myself politically confused, and I make it my business to always stay in my lane: raising livestock with good animal welfare, regenerate the soil beneath their feet, and revitalizing my rural town of Bluffton, Georgia. And when that is on the President's agenda, I'm proud to share my experience. In early June, I was invited to the White House for a meeting with President Trump and some of his cabinet members. I was told there was going to be an executive order signed in the Oval Office, and I was invited to tell the President how my farm had transitioned away from the commodity cattle industry into a small, vertically-integrated food hub. It was my first time being so close to where policy was made, and it was quite surprising. I wasn't there to smile and pose. I was there to plead the case for Regenerative Agriculture. I felt that the four of us farmers who were invited to the White House on June 25th did a pretty good job pleading our case. The President signs only a few executive orders each year, and the one that day was centered around Regenerative Agriculture. I never thought the type of farming that I have been figuring out over the last 30+ years would ever be passionately discussed in the Oval Office. But a few Cabinet members and four farmers were given the opportunity to witness this, and I appreciated having a front row seat.

Decades of observation, experimentation, and a willingness to transition away from commodity agriculture transformed our farm into a living example of something different: regenerative agriculture. But, the work is not done. The Center for Agricultural Resilience (CFAR) was created to share those lessons with others. Because real change happens when knowledge is passed from one farm to the next, one generation to the next, and one community to the next. To learn more about our mission, visit us at theCFAR.org

Summer has arrived and we are feeling it! Shade, fresh air, and plenty of mud make these hot Georgia days a lot more comfortable.

It was another great week in Bluffton! The grass is green and plentiful- the cattle stay on the move! Our goats have been busy keeping the fences clean, while the hens have been busy laying. They want you to stop by the store this weekend for the Buy One, Get One Free egg sale! We've finally got some watermelons and plenty of acorn squash and garlic!

Will Harris grew up in Bluffton with a couple dozen kids staggered around his age. There was never a Saturday that he couldn't get together a football team- offense and defense. That wasn't the case for kids growing up in the same rural town in the 1980's and 90's- our only playmates were our siblings. One of our biggest blessings is watching Bluffton's transition back to the community it once was. It's a great time to be a kid in Bluffton, Georiga!

All rainbows in Bluffton lead to real pots of gold, tons of compost that feed microbes in the soil. Real wealth is generated by healthy soils, and compost is part of that equation.

Happy Father's Day to all of the father figures out there. It's easy to celebrate the hard work, dedication, and protection you provide your family, but may we also cherish the fun stuff! The time you invest in teaching your children and grandchildren, your jokes that keep us all on our toes, and the trust you place in us to continue our family's legacy…and style your hair :)

It was an exciting (and wet) week in Bluffton! We worked our Winter Calving Herd early in the week. We are grateful for the big and small hands that made it happen. The pad where we will soon be cooking cane syrup got a little more character- we are excited to see our new mural go up! Our horses enjoyed the overcast days- even Moses, the new draft horse who towers over everyone in the barn. Grateful for our chew crew this time of year- keeping the grass and fences managed.
