Josh's Kernza Acre — Norton, Kansas

Fourth generations on the same Kansas land. One crop that could 
change grain farming forever.

$100 of your adoption goes directly to Josh McClain — the day 
you adopt.

Josh McClain farms the same Kansas land his family has worked 
for four generations. He's also a co-founder of Creekside Carbon 
— because he didn't just want to farm differently, he wanted to 
build the system that makes it possible for other farmers to do 
the same.

McClain Farms is where the Creekside Carbon Retreat happens every 
July. It's where people come to walk working fields, ask hard 
questions, and leave with something they couldn't have gotten from 
a conference or a documentary.

And it's where Kernza (among other regenerative crops) is being grown at real scale.

ABOUT KERNZA
Kernza is a perennial grain — unlike wheat or corn, it doesn't 
die after harvest. It comes back every year from the same root 
system, which grows up to 10 feet deep into the soil. Those deep 
roots hold soil in place, keep water in the ground, and build 
organic matter season after season without replanting.

Most grain farming strips the land a little more every year. 
Kernza does the opposite.
