Ozark Akerz Regenerative Farm

Ozark Akerz Regenerative Farm is located on Lumbee, Occaneechi and Skaruhreh/Tuscarora Land. We farm with respect for the gifts that plants and animals provide. We raise Heritage Pineywoods Cattle, and a variety of of heritage chickens who are protected from hawks by a guard-turkey name Romeo. Romeo loves to be the center of attention when people come to visit. We are on a journey to follow indigenous Honorable Harvest an ancient wisdom that grounds our approach to regenerative farming. Many have asked us what regenerative farming is. Although it's difficult to summarize in one paragraph because it encompasses so much, this comes pretty close to it's essence for us right now, but if you come back in six months it will have evolved. We take slow and deliberate steps in our adoption of the Honorable Harvest principles, honoring the wisdom through understanding, practice and unlearning of other practices. : We will care for the land that has adopted us. We will do so with respect, working in harmony with nature for healthy and vigorous soil and plants and improving the quality of life for wild and domestic animals. We embrace the 7th Generation Principle of indigenous nations around the world: “In our every deliberation, we must consider the impact of our decisions on the next seven generations.”
