  • Holistic Farming with Andre Houssney Part II
    Jun 1 2023

    Join us in another two-part special as we learn about the Lala People of Zambia in the Miombo Forest and regenerative grazing from Andre Houssney of Jacob Springs Farm in Boulder, CO.

    Jacob Springs Farm is a diversified “beyond-organic farm”, located near Boulder, Colorado. They specialize in grass-fed proteins including eggs, pork, beef, lamb and chicken, as well as grass-based raw milk. They also provide fruit and vegetables in season and delicious comb honey from our bees.

    Andre is passionate about Regenerative Grazing and is actively researching and developing techniques and technology for subsistence farmers worldwide. In close cooperation with Zambeezi, he created a co-op with nearly 1,200 small-scale farmers in Zambia, Africa to improve their productivity and sustainability.
