Regenerative Solutions

Regenerative Farming Practice Integration + Support Is Part of the Solution

Carbon Farm Planning

Understand the connection between climate, carbon, farm productivity and resilience. Develop a long-term plan to transition from mainstreamed farming methods to traditional, regenerative farming practices. Become one of the Texas farms leading the way, ushering in the regenerative agriculture age in Texas.

Integrated Pest Management

Most importantly, insects are not attracted to healthy plants. On your road to bringing life back into your soil, natural pest control is attainable! Incorporate natural, effective soil amendments like Slow Dirt to kill bugs eating plants. Utilize companion plants and flowers to draw in beneficial insects that pollinate and or patrol for garden pests. And strategically attract those garden pests to specific plants designed to serve as their buffet, saving the rest of the garden for your family and customers.

Develop a Climate Resilient Operation

Climate smart agriculture is a must in Texas. Pumping water is the biggest cost for farmers in desert climates. And water wars are already happening and will only get worse.

So what keeps Texas farms and ranches growing water-thirsty crops like cotton, alfalfa and pecans instead of experimenting with less thirsty crops like hemp? 

The transition period is financially difficult! Bankers are hesitant to support something new and farmers are required to show a 5-10 year running average of yields to get crop insurance. Legal changes are needed so as not to penalize Texas farms and ranches for farming different and climate resilient crops like industrial hemp.

Organizations like Farm and Ranch Freedom Alliance (FARFA) focus on supporting independent family farmers and protecting a healthy and productive food supply for American consumers. FARFA advocates on behalf of the thousands of small-scale farmers and ranchers who produce food using sustainable/regenerative methods.

Most people are unconsciously going through the motions of life - Eating (and feeding their children) food with little to no nutritional value, over-consuming junk, sodas, drugs, and alcohol, and drinking water stripped of all the minerals our bodies desperately need to function optimally. Through blind trust, we are fed poison by the "Big Guys" in pharma, ag, tobacco, alcohol, and the consumer packaged goods industry. Unless you're awake and making conscious lifestyle choices, many live a life of dis-ease inside the sick care system.

Engage with organizations like FARFA and the Texas Hemp Coalition to advocate for common sense policies for local, diversified agricultural systems. When you support local farmers, you’re also standing up for millions of consumers who care about protecting traditional rights and personal sovereignty.

Compost worms and worm castings are natural ways to improve soil structure and prevent soil erosion

Vermicastings are:

• 7x richer in Phosphate than soil that has not been through a worm

• 10x available Potassium

• 5x Nitrogen

• 3x usable Magnesium

• 1.5x higher in Calcium

• All of the above nutrients bind onto organic matter in the worm poop (aka worm castings)

TX Soil Sisters partners with Fed N’ Happy to provide red wiggler worm castings and worm tea for both small and large scale farming operations. Our worm castings and red wigglers ship anywhere in the continental United States. If you’re looking for red wiggler worms for sale, check out our supplies page.
