Its a project by our family to take back the responsibility to produce healthy food. We recognized the importance of animals to soil health, but it was a journey. We seek to revive and maintain grassland ecosystem by managing herd of cattle and omnivores. We use mob breeding and selection for more adapted animals to our environmental conditions. We learn by doing and observing. We were unaware how important is soil to produce food as we first tried to grow veggies and other plants in sandy soil which has been conventionally managed for 60+ years without many inputs. Failures and mistakes force to study analyze and then experiment. So we did and found out the soil lacked minerals, microbes and vitality. We tried many organic and mineral inputs in first years but to do it at scale, we understood, animals have to be involved and moved constantly. Everything started to green up. Managing animals is hard but the curiosity of how things change every year helps us to continue our journey. We also continue to research and produce various biological farming inputs that fastens regenerative processes.
