"Creating Experiences That Connect Regenerative Learning and Community" is a visionary initiative dedicated to regenerating 120 acres with a primary focus on soil health and education. This endeavor aims to provide the local Central Texas community and beyond with nutrient-dense proteins derived from holistic planned grazing and crops cultivated using rotational planting methods, all while prioritizing soil health. In addition to sustainable agricultural practices, the initiative is committed to fostering a culture of learning and community engagement. By offering a diverse range of educational opportunities such as homeschool programs, farm days, special events, community gatherings, retreats, culinary classes, and field trips, they are creating a holistic and immersive experience for individuals and families. This holistic approach not only promotes sustainable agriculture but also cultivates a deeper understanding and appreciation for regenerative practices within the community. This place has it all – from sheep and chickens to fresh eggs, bees for honey, and a vibrant market garden with seasonal delights. They've got a top-notch commercial kitchen for culinary adventures and offer educational experiences too. It's worth noting that poultry processing takes place at DRRProcessing, a separate business that conveniently operates on-site.
