WE ALL THRIVE FROM THE GROUND UP

REGENERATIVE AGRICULTURE

Farming that gives back to the Earth, leaving land improved and rejuvenated for generations to come.

REGENERATIVE AGRICULTURE IS

one of the most hopeful movements of our time

Hickory Nut Gap employs managed grazing practices, which involve careful planning and observation, and frequent movement of herds. This leads to an animal impact on the land that enriches the soil and feeds the microbial life underground. This kind of living soil has the potential to sequester carbon instead of releasing it into the atmosphere, a major win in the fight against global warming. Farming practices that improve soil health also improve soil capacity to hold water, reducing erosion. Lastly, regenerative farming maximizes the biodiversity on the farm, so that populations of soil micro organisms, plants, pollinators, birds and small mammals are healthy and contributing to a holistic, functioning ecosystem.

MEASURING OUR IMPACT

HICKORY NUT GAP IS A SAVORY HUB

THE SAVORY INSTITUTE CERTIFIES A GLOBAL NETWORK OF 50 Savory Hubs across 30 countries on 6 continents. Hickory Nut Gap is one of 2 Hubs in the Southeast.

The Savory Institute believes that empowering and equipping farmers to do their best work is most effectively accomplished through fellow community members who know the local land, climate, markets, and culture. Savory Hubs are local learning centers that offer services to support their local farming, ranching, or pastoralist communities, tailored to their specific needs.
