Backyard chickens aren’t just about fresh eggs (though those golden-yolked beauties are a major perk)—they’re also natural pest controllers, composting champions, and endlessly entertaining companions. Whether you’re dreaming of collecting breakfast from the coop or watching your hens chase bugs with wild enthusiasm, keeping chickens brings a little rustic charm and a lot of practical benefits to your yard. Just make sure you’re ready for the commitment — and in return, they’ll reward you with eggs, amusement, and a bit of barnyard chaos in all the best ways!
Regenerative agriculture is a way of farming that restores soil health, boosts biodiversity, and helps fight climate change—all while producing healthier, more nutritious food. Farmers like Raquel and Murray from Galloway Springs Farm in Bridgetown, WA, use techniques like cover cropping, rotational grazing, and no-till planting to enrich the land instead of depleting it. Their work shows that sustainable farming isn’t just possible—it’s essential. By choosing regeneratively grown produce at farmers' markets and ethical grocers, we can all support a healthier planet and food system.
