Lindi and Jared Phillips
The Phillips run Branch Mountain Farm in Lincoln, Arkansas, where they raise lamb and forested pork. In 2018, they utilized USDA conservation funding for rotational grazing among other sustainable agriculture techniques. They aim to apply for more conservation programs to help them expand their operations.
The USDA program was really crucial. We started to understand the power of rotational grazing. Our input costs have radically gone down because we’re a largely grass-fed operation.
