Regenerative farming is often discussed in terms of practices, but far less attention is paid to the infrastructure and design choices that make those practices workable at scale. On a functioning farm, layout, processing flow, shelter design, and cold storage matter as much as grazing plans or genetics. These decisions determine whether a system holds up over time—or breaks under labor and logistical pressure.
In this live farm tour from August 2025, Ryan visits J&L Green Farm in Virginia, where farmer Jordan Green walks through the operational heart of the farm. From on-farm poultry processing and cold-chain management to multi-species shelters, brooder systems, and grazing rotation, the conversation focuses on why systems are built the way they are and how they’ve evolved through years of iteration.
Jordan explains how trial and error shaped the farm’s infrastructure, where early designs fell short, and how incremental changes reduced labor, improved animal welfare, and increased long-term land productivity. The episode offers a grounded look at regenerative farming as a design problem—one defined by constraints, economics, and long-term resilience rather than ideology.
