He's also a co-founder of Creekside Carbon \u003cbr\u003e— because he didn't just want to farm differently, he wanted to \u003cbr\u003ebuild the system that makes it possible for other farmers to do \u003cbr\u003ethe same.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMcClain Farms is where the Creekside Carbon Retreat happens every \u003cbr\u003eJuly.

It comes back every year from the same root \u003cbr\u003esystem, which grows up to 10 feet deep into the soil. Those deep \u003cbr\u003eroots hold soil in place, keep water in the ground, and build \u003cbr\u003eorganic matter season after season without replanting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost grain farming strips the land a little more every year. \u003cbr\u003eKernza does the opposite.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYOUR ACRE\u003cbr\u003eCrop: Kernza (perennial grain), corn, soybeans\u003cbr\u003eLocation: Norton, Kansas\u003cbr\u003ePractices: Perennial grain integration, cover cropping, \u003cbr\u003esoil biology focus\u003cbr\u003eProgram: Indigo Ag Carbon — verified, registry-issued credits\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWHAT SHIPS TO YOU\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1 Acre — $250\u003cbr\u003e- Acre Profile certificate tied to Josh's farm\u003cbr\u003e- Direct farmer updates through the season\u003cbr\u003e- Creekside hat\u003cbr\u003e- Carbon credit retired on your behalf\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e5 Acres — $1,250 (select 5 Acres — Kernza Product)\u003cbr\u003eEverything above, plus your choice of:\u003cbr\u003e- Kernza flour from McClain Farms\u003cbr\u003e- Rolled Kernza\u003cbr\u003e- Kernza egg noodles\u003cbr\u003eWe'll follow up after purchase to confirm your preference.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e10 Acres — $2,500 (select 10 Acres — Private Farm Visit)\u003cbr\u003eEverything above, plus a private farm visit to McClain Farms \u003cbr\u003efor up to 5 people.
