Research

Emerald Harvest is being built as a working research farm, testing regenerative practices and sharing practical lessons.

Polyculture Systems

We’ll test how diverse plantings can work together on a real, productive farm, measuring how complementary crops support one another and whether polycultures can be profitable.

What we’ll measure: Water infiltration, microbial biomass, carbon sequestered, and acres converted to regenerative production.

Status: Planning.

Soil and Land Restoration

Research question: Can polycultures be profitable?

What we’ll measure: Water infiltration, microbial biomass, carbon sequestered, and acres converted to regenerative production.

Status: Planning.

Profitability Before Scale

We’ll test whether these systems can pay their way on 15 acres before expanding.

What we’ll measure: Water infiltration, microbial biomass, carbon sequestered, and acres converted to regenerative production.
