Last year Kiss the Ground reached a massive milestone in the Regenerative Movement, where we supported 215 small farms and 73,000 acres in their transition to regenerative agriculture. Now, we are focusing on highlighting some of the individuals who are making that transition happen. Scaling the movement requires more than funding equipment and education; it’s imperative that we share the inspirational stories of those who are leading the way.
To further our expansion across a diverse array of farms, we are pleased to announce the Kiss the Ground Farmer Relations Board.
By inviting these diverse voices directly to our table, Kiss the Ground’s Farmer Relations Board ensures our farmer programs are built with diversity in mind. Led by fourth-generation farmer Rick Brown, our board helps advise our work with small farms, keeping the needs of a vast array of farmers at the heartbeat of everything we do.
