Clear Mission: “We wish to accomplish two basic goals: 1) to provide food for our family through increased production from our land and livestock. 2) to reclaim our land by returning the living soil to where it is naturally productive through carbon sequestration, nitrogen fixing, minimizing a carbon footprint, and all responsible means using a holistic design.” – Stephen A.
