The Circle Farm is a song celebrating the successes of regenerative agriculture.
Grow your food on the circle farm
Steward the land and do no harm
Watch the food go round and round
When you grow your food at the circle farm
Regenerative agriculture has the potential to change our food supply and distribution practices for a more sustainable future. Some resources if you want to find out more:
Kiss the Ground Movie – how to improve our farming practices, and why it can contribute to efforts to reduce climate change. Bio-sequestration is the process of capturing and storing carbon in plants. If the carbon goes through the plant, then the soil would be rich with microbes and squiggly worms — all contributing to the circle of life. The Circle Farm!
There’s an excellent documentary called The Biggest Little Farm, which chronicles the first eight years of a regenerative farm. Farming is very hard work, especially when you’ve committed to a form of it that aims to capitalize on all the ways earth’s organisms interact — from the ones the Chesters (who live and work not the farm) are nurturing on purpose, like sheep and chickens and fruit trees, to the ones they’re much less excited to see, like pests and coyotes and weeds.
John Chester says of his experience on the farm “In one day, you can experience something heartbreaking, gut-wrenching, and discouraging. Then a few minutes later, you can see something miraculous happen within the farm’s ecosystem that inspires you and makes you feel like you could never do anything but this. Like, this is utter perfection.”
