Chris (regenerative cattle grazer) and Lauren (farm owner) made a match through Land Link Montgomery
Land Link Montgomery is a program matching seasoned farmers with landowners to create more farm businesses in Montgomery County.
In this program, we play matchmaker and what makes the best matches is shared vision. This was the case with Lauren, a long term Ag Reserve advocate and Chris, an experienced regenerative cattle farmer. Chris' cattle will cycle through the pastures at Lauren's property, improving the soil as they go. Happy cattle, verdant pastures - a mutually beneficial match.

I’m so excited to see cattle coming back to my land and becoming productive again. Chris comes with the best package you could ask for for sustainable regenerative animal agriculture. Taking advantage of the fencing and the watered that I already have installed, he will do rotational grazing across my pasture , thus improving and increasing fertility, water absorption capacity and carbon storage. My little farm now comprises two of the cornerstones of the master plan protected, agricultural reserve: open space in the form of some forested land, Meadows and a riparian buffer on either side of my stream; and Regenerative agriculture in the form of rotationally grazed cattle raised without any fertilizer or pesticides. This land has been farmed since the early 18th century, and I am proud to continue that tradition and grateful for the master plan that protects this farmland and allows it to continue to be productive and economically viable for that producer who is farming it.
