A visit with Farmer Roger

What does the concept of sustainability mean to us at The South 47 Farm?

Our goal is simple, but not easy:

We want someone to be farming this piece of ground when all of us are dead and gone.

For the best chance of making that happen, we must:

1)     Work to protect and improve the piece of ground we are working, including impacts and interactions with the land surrounding the farm,

2)     Create a farm business that supports and engages those farmers and farm workers who step forward to take over the farm, and

3)     Strive to become a vital and valued asset to the local community.

If we keep this simple goal in mind with each decision we make, we can’t help but walk that journey towards sustainability.
