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.
