Jackson Regenerational Farm in Atkinson just had its best year since Nick Jackson and Sarah Mahan began farming full time. With 100-acres available, the two farm on 70 acres and produce pastured eggs, pastured chicken, and regeneratively raised lamb. “The drought wasn’t really an issue for us because of the way we manage our livestock and our land,” Nick Jackson said. “The basic goal of regenerative practices is to reduce the cost and the labor for the farmer,” Tom Gordon, a soil and water conservation coordinator with the Department of Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry said. “(This practice) builds resilience for farms against weather conditions, climate change, drought, and so forth."
