Regenerative Champions

Clucking through challenges: The Irbys’ path to food resilience


Listen Later

Join us for a conversation with our regenerative champions, Dale and Christine Irby. The couple co-owns Irby’s Old School Farm in Dayton, Ohio. With no farming experience, Dale and Christine started raising chickens at the height of the COVID pandemic in 2020, transforming uncertainty into empowerment. But it wasn’t easy. From lack of support to weather challenges, Dale and Christine faced real barriers. Yet, through determination and community spirit, their impact is felt by their family and their neighborhood. The Irbys talk about the power of starting small, the importance of healthy food education, and why they believe more people should feel inspired by growing their own food.
