Ep. 115 - FAFO Farms TX: Regenerative Farming, Raw Milk, and a Farmshare
Manage episode 396698516 series 3010825
Clint from FAFO Farms shares how he started regenerative farming a little over a year ago using the Joel Salatin method, by rotationally grazing cows, chickens, and goats. They have a farmshare, providing raw milk to their members.
When they were looking for land, their criteria was at least 20 acres, access to water or a creek, and fertile land for regenerative farming -
- no herbs or pesticides
- Revitalize the soil
- Rotational grazing cows, then chickens, then goats to break the parasite cycle.
The War on Food
We talk about how he inadvertently became the latest front in the War on Food, with people from Austin reporting him to the Health Dept for selling raw milk (although farmshares are perfectly legal in TX).
Tips for New Homesteaders
Clint's tips for new homesteaders:
- Focus on one animal at a time.
- Don't get too many animals to start out with.
- Do your research on the animals.
Clint had a very strange episode with a mushroom spore on his property that caused his calf to get Overeating Disease and die.
We also talk about raw milk and Clint's success with the carnivore diet.
