The farm has an interesting backstory. It was initially just a backyard chicken hobbyist farm, and then after feeding themselves and friends, they saw the health impact and the localized food impact - then began trading meat for land access. \nJosh spent years during 2015-18 waiting for the right property top open up, with multiple failed attempts, before securing the current farm in 2018. \nThey launched full-time in 2019, saw rapid growth during 2020 with that demand spike, and then developed the farm into what it is today, a regenerative grazing operation and direct-to-consumer product platform. \nNeither Joss or Jessica grew up farming, but health concerns, lack of localized food option and expense of quality food triggered their shift to farming. \nThey have a faith-driven vision for the farm, and “Rehoboth” means “God made room”. \nJessica leads customer engagement, and Josh leads the systems and operations on the farm. \nYou can connect to Josh and Jessica via the links below:\nWebsite\nInstagram\nKey topics & Timestamps:\n00:00:00 Tractor use and cutting pasture for regrowth\n00:01:00 Turkey shipping losses and hatchery challenges\n00:03:00 Why turkey poults are fragile in the brooder\n00:04:00 Thanksgiving turkey pickup on farm\n00:05:00 Broiler setup and water system improvements\n00:08:30 Compost piles and feeding pumpkins to livestock\n00:10:30 Rotating pigs and natural mineral foraging\n00:14:00 Outdoor pig genetics vs confinement genetics\n00:22:00 Moving broilers to build soil nitrogen\n00:24:00 Multi-species grazing and parasite management","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/al8BwjjnR2m8I-3vEq0Iyx2E0FqQ9QB0aLPF4D6flnY/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS81YzE3/NmFmYjZiNmRkZDdm/Y2MwYzk5ZjI5ZjRj/YzgwZi5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
