At Lin Organic Farm we have come to learn that soil health is the number priority in regenerative organic farming. The concept of regenerative organic farming is creating a system that works in harmony with people, animal welfare and the environment. In other words, farming system that works in harmony with nature to improve quality of life. Healthy Soil, Healthy Crops, Healthy People.
Three Pillars of Regenerative Organic Farming

ANIMAL WELFARE: Includes organic livestock management; grass fed, and pasture raised with restrictions on use of antibiotics and hormones. Organic livestock benefit people and the environment, and livestock raised organically have a better quality of live.
SOCIAL FARENESS: Fair payment and living wages for farmers and farm workers, safe working conditions and capacity building. The welfare of human beings on the farm as is vital in regenerative organic farming. (Rodale Institute 2024)
Other Aspects
