Origin Story
I fell in love with food and farming during undergrad.
Our class discussions always said if you want to be sustainable, you had to farm and slaughter animals for manure, blood meal, bone meal, etc.
A number only maintained by using intensive, filthy conditions which leave both humans and animals suffering in the process
But if this could be true...1
Then how could we ever hope to be sustainable?
There had to be another way.
That's when I discovered stockfree agriculture.
A sustainable food system which helps build healthy soil and support the natural ecosystem without needing to systematically farm and kill countless domestic animals.
Stockfree agriculture is not very well known, but it has been studied and practiced with a lot of success for years.
It has many names, but the premise is the same.
A study from 1963 discussing the success of stockfree gardening.
A 20 year-long study comparing plant manure with other methods.
An international farming standard known as Biocyclic Vegan.
If we can grow food without hurting humans, animals, or the environment...why aren't we?
There is a solution.
Fair Farm Project
With the help of the Center for Animal Law Studies at Lewis & Clark Law School and a course taught by Professor Russ Mead, a nonprofit was born.
