“Farming with the Wild” is our way of defining “sustainable agriculture.” This bold vision for food production includes free-flowing watersheds and interconnected habitat through farmlands. It favors pasture-based livestock operations and farming methods that work with, rather than against, wild nature. As Aldo Leopold wrote, “a good farm is one where wild plants and animals lose acreage without losing existence.”

HOW you can help
Eat Consciously. Seek local and in season, look for Organic and GMO free certified products and make sure animal products are humanely pasture raised.
Consider the natural habitat of agricultural spaces. Clean air and water, native species of plants, birds, bats, bees, and even predators that can be incorporated and utilized in farming practices while protecting the landscape.
Support A Farm-Based Conservation Economy. With broad diversity of domestic and native species, clean air ad water, healthy fertile soil, pollinators and beneficial insects, birds and bats, year-round plant cover for soil conservation.
Support “predator-friendly”. Producers that use guard animals and other management techniques to coexist with wild species that might threaten livestock.
Support shade grown coffee. That provides critical migratory bird habitat and Salmon. Safe products that work with landowners to enhance water quality for endangered fish in the United State’s Pacific Northwest.
