115. Breaking preconceived notions of farming, Connections between healthy soil and healthy bodies, and the importance of water and mineral cycles with Glenn Morris
Glenn Morris began his career trained as a conventional manager, then 12 years ago Glenn moved in direction of organic farming. Glenn now has a long history of working on Stud and commercial beef cattle properties. After great amounts of research Glenn recognized the disconnect between our food, and our bodies. Glenn has spent his life observing and enhancing the roles natural cycles play in the health of properties.
Glenn is motivated by ensuring that his farm practises enable the land to be passed on to future generations in a healthy state. Through his research Glenn and Figtrees Organic Farms has been able to regenerate the properties from tired conventionally run farms to thriving healthy landscapes bursting with abundance, the abundance that comes from caring for healthy soils. Now, 12 years later, Figtrees Organic Farms is proudly able to supply discerning consumers the healthiest and best tasting nutritious beef that comes from healthy well cared for cattle who have lived a happy life on healthy pastures. Glenn and Figtrees Organics makes it possible for consumers of their products to consistently contribute to ensuring the continued care of the land.
