Through innovative practices, farmers can improve the quality of our land, our waterways, our lives, and our planet.
As CEO of Harborview Farms, my 13,000-acre, fourth generation family farm in Rock Hall, Maryland, I’ve worked to balance my roots in traditional agriculture and my personal interest in finding a more environmentally sustainable way to farm. I call it “climate resilience.”
It’s an approach that takes its cues from Mother Nature and provides solutions for problems we’ve never attempted to address through farming—reducing carbon emissions, boosting pollinator species and biodiversity, and improving water quality.
Through creative innovation in cover crops, combined with no-till methods, I’ve designed my farm responsively for the environmental factors—or the world—we’re experiencing now.
