Cody Holmes – growing from grass-fed ranch to regional food hub.
Cody Holmes began beef ranching conventionally – with all the hormones, additives and labor demanded by the conventional system. Once he’d decided he’d had enough, he adopted and adapted his operation into one of the model multi-species grazing farms in the USA.
Author of “Ranching Full Time on Three Hours a Day,” Cody and his wife and partner Dawnnell and their daughter Taylor, operate Real Farm Foods on their 1,100-acre farm, Rockin H Ranch, in Norwood, Missouri (east of Springfield). But they are not standing pat in their business. Cody is extending his enterprise to include many other farms and farmers in a regional food hub providing grass-fed meats, vegetables, eggs and dairy, and a growing variety of value-added products.
In this Deep Roots Radio interview, Cody describes the vision and challenges of developing a local food hub to meet his area’s growing demand for delicious, high-quality, clean, and healthful foods. Enjoy.
