We think big, drawing on the knowledge of North Carolina’s land-grant universities from our nexus within the Center for Environmental Farming Systems and NCSU Cooperative Extension. We apply small, bringing innovative, regenerative solutions with us to the pastures of small-scale meat producers across the state and returning with insights from the field to inform ongoing research.

We build connections between farmers, processors, and buyers, collectively creating a more resilient, interconnected local meat ecosystem in North Carolina. Our impact extends nationwide through the National Meat Summits collaboration.
