About the hub

Regrarian Resource is run by Dana Wilson, Chantilly Ranch, Yuba County, California. It gathers the best of regrarian planning, holistic grazing, keyline water design, permaculture, low-stress handling, direct marketing and grants into one place, from big ideas down to the next step.

Every guide links its sources, unproven tech is labeled as unproven, and links are checked regularly. We hold no inventory; when we recommend something we may earn a commission, and we say so next to the link. See our disclosure.
