Benjamin, Kimberly, Anna, Teresa, and William Jenkins raise regenerative beef on the multi-generational Jenkins family farm that has been in the family for over 100 years. The herd is mainly grass-fed and spend the majority of their lives on pasture or eating organic hay. Our core values hearken back to a pre-industrialized era of farming. No we don’t farm with horses but we are trying to prove th
at you don’t have to be a corporate mega farm to make a living wage in farming. Our goal is to leave the next generation a plot of God’s green earth that is better condition than when we got here. Raising our cattle on pasture is proving to be the best method toward our goal of a healthy biologically diverse soil. Healthy soil=healthy food=healthy people=healthy community. Our approach to accomplishing these goals is by incorporating methods that will “regenerate” our soils. Regenerated soils have an increase in organic matter (dead biological material). Organic matter is made up of carbon. By not disturbing the soil through tillage or by minimizing the affect of tillage by limiting the amount of tilling, we can take more carbon out of the atmosphere and keep it in the soil (carbon sequestration) in the form of humus which reduces our dependence on commercial fertilizer, reduces erosion by wind or water, and increases the ability of the soil to soak up and hold water eliminating the need mechanical irrigation. This also keeps the water up in the root zone for the plants to use instead of leaching down into the ground water. The meat we raise is processed locally by independent butchers and available in mixed quarters, by the half or whole animal. Message us or call to place an order. Our crops are grown on farmland that is certified by MOSA a USDA certifier.
