Project Summary: We are first-generation farmers, Molly Sowash and CJ Morgan, raising beef and pork in Athens, Ohio. We started farming because of our concern for the climate and the environmental destruction caused by our industrial food system.
Our beef is 100% grass-fed and finished, meaning our cattle live their lives on pasture and are never fed grain. Our pork is also pastured, providing a diverse diet to complement their non-GMO feed.
Our livestock are building healthy soils and sequestering carbon, while providing nutritious meat to our family and community. Healthy soil means healthy food.
