Kiss the Ground Farmer Grant Update: 215 Farms, 73,000 Acres, and the Stories Behind the Regeneration

In 2025, the Kiss the Ground community hit a massive milestone: $500,000 in direct grants awarded to 215 small farms and ranches across the United States.

By helping farmers fund critical equipment, supplies, and regenerative training, we supported the transition of 73,000 acres to regenerative practices. These grants reduced the financial risk for these farmers, allowing them to focus on what matters most: the health of our soil.

NOW: We Tell Their Stories

Last year was about the investment, 2026 is about the people. Regeneration isn’t just a metric or a trend; it’s a human story. This year, in the coming weeks, we’re going behind the scenes with these 215 farms to show you exactly how your support is changing lives, families, enriching soil and ecosystems. Ultimately we are closing the gap between people who want nourishing food and the farmers who grow it.
