Our Mission

To help farmers use regenerative farming methods that restore ecosystem health, grow more nutrient dense food, and sustain their farms’ success for generations.

“Education on regenerative practices is somewhat available to farmers now. There are some funding sources to help them transition. But, the broad shift won’t happen unless there is a market for regenerative sourced products and the infrastructure to deliver them. Only then will many farmers want to adopt new ways of thinking, planning and taking action. That is why we have designed a Holistic Hub.” - Phil Forbes, KRN Leader

The Problem

Midwestern agricultural practices destroy healthy ecosystems' ability to produce pollution-free nutrient-dense food for people and their resiliency to survive extreme weather events caused by global climate change. Holistic Management is the regenerative agriculture-based solution, but Midwestern farmers (a) need to be made aware of it or (b) are distracted by other regenerative ag solutions - so Holistic Management is not being implemented widely enough to create change.

"Holistic" Solutions

The Kalona Regenerative Network provides Holistic Management training, EOV monitoring, Land to Market Verification services, and funding to pay for those services. However, it also builds farmer demand for those services by creating customer demand for regenerative sourced products and the supply chain infrastructure necessary to bring them to market.
