  • "Attending the Profiting From Pastured Animals workshop at HOPE for Small Farm Sustainability was an invaluable experience for me. The knowledge I gained on sustainable farming practices and the innovative strategies shared have truly inspired me to implement regenerative agriculture at Salamis Farms. The workshop also helped me sharpen my business and marketing skills, which are essential for expanding my farm's reach and ensuring long-term success. I feel motivated and equipped to make meaningful changes that will benefit my farm and the community."

  • "We decided to move out into the country in 2018 and knew we wanted to have some cows to keep our property ag exemption; we started off conventionally the first couple of years and then after experiencing the drought, we knew there had to be something better out there. Learned about regenerative agriculture at a CHFS preconference in 2022 and did a complete 180 degrees in an effort to make our soil better, which in turn would help the cows, us and our environment."
