Our Mission.jpg
 

We are a sustainable family farmstead dedicated to restoring biodiversity and natural balance. It is our mission to provide an educational environment that inspires others to make choices in favor of sustainability and environmental regeneration no matter how small or large. We hope this focus on education will provoke positive change on a larger scale and motivate a change in the way we use our resources.

Biodiversity is the key indicator of the health of a system. When biodiversity is maximized, ecosystems thrive, allowing both micro- and macro-organisms to adapt in the wake of adversity. Biodiversity on a farm begins and ends with the soil. A rich, complex soil microenvironment cultivates both vegetation and fungi, which provides an abundance of nutrition for grazing consumers. The consumers in turn replenish and further diversify the soil microenvironment.

This cyclical process increases water absorption and potentiates the available abundance for all within the ecosystem. Encouraging the reproduction of a single aspect of this complex network throws off the balance, so it is crucial to promote the greatest degree of heterogeneity possible.

Our Story

Introducing Josh & Tricia Sowers

We come from very different backgrounds. We are yin and yang and are on the adventure of a lifetime - uncovering and discovering all the ways that we can work together to achieve a lifelong dream - a sustainable lifestyle. Almost 4 years ago, we decided to make a major life change. We were living the “American Dream”, but realized that we felt disconnected and unfulfilled. While looking to leave the complex city life behind and return to simplicity, a property in Coupland, TX came on the market, which felt like home instantaneously. We have been working hard to realize our dream. We’ve had numerous successes and even more failures along the way. We want to share our journey, so others can be inspired to make positive change - in whatever form or fashion.
