Jake and Meghan Takiff, along with their daughter Juniper, are the owners and managers of Cedar Springs Farm in Western Colorado. They are transforming an old, overgrazed ranch in the desert into a perennial food forest by using permaculture practices of water management, tree plantings and rotationally grazing. Currently they produce grass-fed beef and pastured heritage pork while they wait for the 10,000 trees that they’ve planted to mature. They are creating a model farm that is not only ecologically friendly, but also highly productive and economically viable. Cedar Springs Farm is utilizing regenerative farming practices that build soil, sequester carbon from the atmosphere and create healthy food for their community.
