Ten years ago, in an effort to become more connected with their food, the land and lower their carbon footprint, Anthony Ricketts and Samantha Irizarry began their agricultural journey with yaks.
Last October their ranch qualified to become a 501c3 non-profit organization. The title of their non-profit is global regenerative agricultural sustainable solutions focused educational directives (G.R.A.S.S.-F.E.D.)
Their goal in the beginning wasn’t to promote sustainable agriculture, it was to become more sustainable themselves. After meeting Woodward, they began to learn more about sustainable agriculture and implementing those practices into their ranch.
“We’re focused on making the land better so it’s better for everyone,” Ricketts Said.
In an effort to find a way to explain their work with sustainable agriculture to their daughters, Irizarry and Ricketts were inspired to write a children's book, with Murray as the main character.
