In the Words of SoulGrown
“We’re working with nature instead of against it, just as our ancestors did… If the soil is healthy, the crops and animals will be healthy, and create a healthy product in the end.”
- Jessica Gean, Sales & Marketing Director
We are grateful to SoulGrown and Eric Velasco for helping to promote our Annual Fall Festival and all that BDA is doing on the farm. Here are a few snippets of what they had to say:
“Bois d’Arc Farm in Perry County will celebrate food, family, and fun with a fall festival on October 9, part of a larger effort to expose more people to the organic farm that applies old-school principles to modern agriculture.”
“BDA also has ramped up its farm tours for customers, school groups, and anyone else who’s interested in the eight-year-old, no-till farm in the Black Belt.”
“BDA practices regenerative agriculture, focusing on building soil health, which produce better crops and meat. The farm doesn’t till the land when planting, and encourages growth of the diverse vegetation that naturally thrives in the area. Cattle and chickens are frequently moved around pastures to promote balanced growth, and the land is given time to fully recover between grazings.”
