Our not-for-profit mission is to alleviate food insecurity and inspire ecological stewardship by offering inclusionary and empowering learning opportunities through research, innovation, and hands-on education at Elk Root Conservation’s Educational Demonstration Farm. Our educational workshops focus on ecological stewardship, wildlife conservation, regenerative organic agriculture, pollinator wellness and protection, sustainability, and local food security.
Over the past 7 years, we have been addressing regional food insecurity while focusing on the sustainability of the food system into the future. At ERC, we have developed the term Beyond Organic Regenerative Agriculture (BORA) to distinguish a kind of farming that goes beyond sustainable. It is the groundbreaking food production design and practice standard we have developed and set for ERC that goes ‘beyond’ the requirements of our Certified Organic status. This standard is applied to all of our growing endeavours, including the ERC Regenerative Educational Community Food Gardens and ERC Community Food Box Program.
