  • "Your generosity in sharing your time, your home, your teaching, and your family has made a beautiful impact. It’s sparked connection in our family, fueled dinner conversations, and created lasting memories for our child and for us.”

  • "Our child absolutely loves going to your camp. She worries about missing a single moment, often with no real sense of time - which means she’s been getting herself ready each morning with enthusiasm and responsibility. She comes home happy, covered in dirt, and excited to tell us all about her day."

  • "What’s been especially lovely is how our child brings what she learns into our home, today she’s been busy creating all sorts of fun concoctions, adding her own twist to what she's picked up at camp. Best of all, the break from screens has lasted well into the evenings. Instead of reaching for a device, she heads outside to make bird feeders or check on her garden."

Wade Creek Farm uses Regenerative Agriculture as our guiding principle of making the land and soil healthier as we grow food. In other words, we nurture the soil and we nourish ourselves.

What does regenerative agriculture look like in practice?

At its core, regenerative agriculture means farming in a way that actively builds soil health—not just sustaining the land, but restoring it over time.

At Wade Creek Farm, we do this through rotational grazing. Our animals move through pastures in a way that naturally fertilizes the soil, strengthens grasses, and improves moisture retention. This creates healthier land—and healthier animals living in a clean, well-cared-for environment.

Their manure is then composted and returned to the soil, nourishing our gardens and orchards. The result is vibrant, productive land that supports healthy, delicious vegetables, fruits, and berries.
