Rising Locust Farm

Rising Locust Farm We are a collective farm practicing regenerative agriculture that works towards healing both land and And yes, by planting many locust trees.

The locust tree thrives in degraded landscapes where other trees won't grow. Its role in the landscape is that of a healer, turning depleted soils into a rich biological system that allows for more and more diversity to flourish. Along the way it provides fertilizer, firewood, nutritious forage, shade, and fenceposts all while growing many feet each year. Our hope as a farm is to mimic the locust

as a healer of land. We are trying to create farm systems that regenerate soil, the health of our local ecology, and rural communities while growing nourishing food. We are trying to do this through perennial pastures with multiple species of livestock; planting fruit, nut and timber trees on pasture to create a diverse savanna-like ecosystem; using simple earthworks and technologies to harvest water and prevent any soil erosion; and by connecting and collaborating with our local community to share knowledge, resources and opportunities.
