Regenerative Dairy Excellence in Northern California

The Challenge

The farm sought to move beyond organic standards to prove that dairy production could be a carbon-sequestering climate solution. They faced the challenge of managing large herds while significantly improving soil organic matter and pasture health.

The Transition

They implemented intensive rotational grazing and focused on soil biology through compost application and diverse pasture mixes. They also focused on the A2/A2 protein standard and rigorous animal welfare practices required by ROC.

ROC Certification

Became the first ROC-certified dairy in the United States in 2021.

The Market Outcome

The certification helped them secure premium placement in national retailers like Whole Foods Market. They have successfully demonstrated that regenerative dairy can lead to higher soil carbon levels compared to conventional grazing.
