Gabe Brown:
Gabe, along with his wife, Shelly, and son, Paul, own and operate a diversified 5,000 Acre farm and ranch near Bismarck, ND. Their ranch focuses on farming and ranching in nature’s image. They have holistically integrated their grazing and no-till cropping systems, which includes a wide variety of cash crops along with multi-species cover crops and all-natural grass-fed beef, pork, lamb, poultry, and eggs. This diversity and integration has regenerated the natural resources on the ranch with reductions/elimination of synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, and fungicides. More than 2,000 people visit the Brown Ranch annually to see this unique operation for themselves with visitors from all over the US and world. Gabe recently authored a book titled “Dirt to Soil: One Family’s Journey into Regenerative Agriculture” which describes his path in farming and ranching building soil health.
