Regenerative Organic Agriculture
Regenerative California is working to help small farmers succeed and reconnect all of us with the food we eat by growing nutrient-rich crops through regenerative organic practices.
Why regenerative?
These methods restore soil health which sequesters more carbon, increases biodiversity, conserves water, and builds stronger, healthier communities.
Regenerate 68! Farm
In 2025, we launched Regenerate 68! Farm. Located just off of Highway 68 in Monterey County on the historic Ferrini Ranch, this 68 acre farm is a working demonstration site for regenerative organic agriculture training and outcomes-based farming practices led by farmers and innovators in soil health, biodiversity, and climate resilience.
Certified by CCOF as an organic farm, we are working towards becoming a living classroom and training ground for regenerative organic agriculture in Monterey County.
By partnering with local organizations, we’re protecting pollinators and exploring innovative ways to share and care for the land benefiting growers, eaters, and learners. Through demonstration projects, we’re proving the benefits of regenerative organic farming. Working towards influencing policies, and unlocking new opportunities for farmers.
Join Regenerative California
We are looking for our next full-time Regenerate 68! Farm Manager to join our team!
“We are grateful to Regenerative California for the extraordinary work that they are doing. Thanks to them we are able to access organic agricultural land in the Salinas Valley. Thanks for giving us the opportunity, as small farmers, to grow our organic agricultural business. Without the help of Regenerative California it wouldn’t have been possible for us to progress to more acres outside of ALBA. We now have confidence to grow our businesses.”

Organic Farming
Avoidance-based.
The primary goal is to "do no harm" by restricting specific synthetic inputs. Practices are guided by a predefined set of rules and standards for production.
Regenerative Farming
Restorative-based.
A holistic philosophy focused on actively healing and enhancing the entire farm ecosystem. The focus is on outcomes, such as rebuilding topsoil and sequestering carbon
