It is a modern framework shaped by todayโ€™s ecological limits and ethical questions. It focuses on how we choose to farm now (as participants in living systems, not dominators).
Veganic agriculture is one way to practice regeneration that centers responsibility, mutual benefit, and respect for life.

Veganic agriculture does not claim ownership over regenerative knowledge. Indigenous food systems sustained ecosystems through reciprocal relationships and responsibility long before industrial agriculture existed.

Veganic farming starts from a different premise: humans are participants in ecological systems (not dominators). Regeneration is not just about soil. It is about how we choose to relate to living systems.

Veganic agriculture is regenerative farming guided by ethics.
It uses proven regenerative practices already working at scale while expanding the focus beyond soil metrics.

These seeds will be saved to grow more life.
Fruit feeds us and creates abundance for tomorrow.
In animal agriculture, a meal ends a story forever.
Here, the story keeps going.
Nourishment without taking a life.
Harvest food, not lives.

Itโ€™s also a good reminder that the myth of โ€œno vegan fertilizersโ€ is just thatโ€”a myth. Veganic farming isnโ€™t only possible; itโ€™s practical and incredibly beneficial.

Thanks for following along as we keep challenging the norms of conventional agriculture and proving thereโ€™s a better way. ๐Ÿ’š

Instead of conventional fertilizers, often from slaughterhouse byproducts or petrochemicals, we used a calculated mix of cottonseed meal and alfalfa pellets. Both 100% plant-based, supporting soil life and nutrient availability without the ethical and ecological costs of animal agriculture.

Typically we donโ€™t use offsite amendmentsโ€”relying fully on on-farm nutrient cycling and natural succession. But for our corn seed project, we decided to invest in a little extra nutrition to give this heirloom crop its best shot.

Hunters claim coyotes never raise their tails and that black coyotes donโ€™t exist. But hereโ€™s the proof.
Coyotes do raise their tails, melanistic coyotes are real, and they are native predators. This misinformation fuels persecution and harms ecosystems

Have you ever seen a melanistic coyote or a coydog (also called a Carolina dog in the Southeast)?

Join me as I debunk these common myths, compare possible sightings of a coydog, and discuss why nonviolent land management is not only possible but necessary. Letโ€™s talk about the real impact of predator conservation, and why killing wildlife is not only cruel but also disrupts ecosystems.

In this video, we break down the actual footage of coyotes and their natural behaviors, including tail-raising, and explore why hunters struggle so much with accepting reality. Is it just misinformation, or is there something deeperโ€”cognitive dissonance, perhaps?

Hunters Canโ€™t Handle This Wildlife Footage (Hereโ€™s Why) YouTube video by Ben the Vegan Farmer

After posting a video about coyotes using a new wildlife corridor on our farm, many hunters felt the need to tell me I was wrong. They claimed black coyotes donโ€™t exist, that coyotes never raise their tails, and that I clearly didnโ€™t know what I was talking about.

Soil isnโ€™t just dirtโ€”itโ€™s alive! ๐ŸŒฑ Beneath our feet, fungi, microbes, & insects work together to build fertility, store carbon, and sustain life.

Regenerative farmingโ€”cover crops, mulch, & no-tillโ€”protects this vital ecosystem. Care for the soil, and it will care for us. ๐ŸŒŽ๐Ÿ’š

These systems are not ancient traditionsโ€”they are relatively new, shaped by policy, technology, and economic incentives. Their long-term consequencesโ€”on human health, environmental stability, and disease emergenceโ€”are still unfolding. What comes next is up to us.
