Can Soil Save the World? Touring Gabe Brown’s Regenerative Ranch

Join us on a boots-on-the-ground tour of Brown’s Ranch in Bismarck, North Dakota — the legendary regenerative operation stewarded by Gabe Brown and his family.

This video takes you through Gabe’s landscape of transformation: from degraded cropland to a vibrant, living ecosystem teeming with biodiversity, soil aggregation, perennial pastures, and multi-species livestock integration. You’ll see firsthand:

6,000 acres managed using the 6 Principles of Soil Health
Insights on epigenetics, grazing recovery windows, and stockpile management
Why Gabe never feeds supplements — and how his cattle thrive anyway
Bale grazing setups, paddock design, and watering infrastructure
Stories of failed apple orchards, resilient hens, and humble beginnings
How Paul Brown’s meat business operates out of a spray-foamed 1957 shed
Incredible footage of native grasses like big bluestem returning — unaided
Why CRP land and conventional no-till may not be the answer

📦 Bonus: Go behind the scenes of their direct-to-consumer meat operation, and hear how Gabe went from deep debt to global influence — hosting guests like King Charles and launching education initiatives like Understanding Ag and the Soil Health Academy.

🧠 This tour is more than visuals — it’s a masterclass in regenerative thinking. If you’re curious about how soil is built (not bought), and how a family ranch became an international beacon of hope, don’t miss this film.
