Hello friends and family,

We thought we’d take a page from the non-profit book and create our first farm annual report! After all, regenerative farms like ours create many social and environmental impacts that are worth documenting.

While CJ thinks more often of the future and the exciting possibilities to come, Molly often lingers on the past and the many memories worth reliving. You’ll find both of us in these pages, as we reflect on the major year that was 2023 and as we strategize for growth in 2024.

Below is one of our favorite pages! Read the full report to see shoutouts, save-the-dates, and what’s in store for us (and you!) this year. Download the full report here.

It may take me a lifetime to master the art of mindfulness, but here are some recent moments that captured my full and present attention…

Healthy Soils = Better Profits

On Tuesday, I drove to Columbus to speak with state legislators about the importance of soil health. Why? Because I want our state to better support farmers in adopting conservation practices that will benefit us all. Through my involvement with the Ohio Soil Health Initiative, I had the opportunity to share about how we build soils at MoSo Farm.
