The Program

The final visit program is under development but is being designed around a program covering three core areas of developing and operating a farm undertaking regenerative farming principles:

1. Resource management, farming operations and enterprises,
2. Creating products and value-adding,
3. Marketing and sales.

These principles align with Holistic Management’s chain of production, which is one of the core principles we teach, and visits have been structured to focus on each of these areas.

On property visits, operators will discuss their philosophy, their journey, their successes, and things they would do better. Participants receive background information on each case-study on the tour, to allow more in-depth discussions while on property. In some cases, you will have access to economic and financial information for the operations.
