Kinloch Farm

Encompassing over acres of protected and historic farmland in Virginia’s Piedmont, Kinloch Farm operates at the intersection of agriculture and conservation. We believe these two activities are intertwined, which is why we pursue regenerative and adaptive management principles designed to support ecological processes and outcomes across our farm. Through our management in our grasslands, savannas, riparian areas, and wetlands, we promote native species diversity, wildlife and pollinator habitat, refuge and nesting ground for migratory grassland birds, health and vitality of our waterways, as well as carbon sequestration. We quantify this work through our research partnerships with local, regional, and national organizations. We pursue adaptive grazing practices with our cattle that are bred to consume Virginia forages and produce an outstanding animal. The grazing herd regenerates our land by improving soil microbiology, increasing water retention, storing carbon, and promoting a diversity of forages in our system. We operate in a system of patience, observation and adaptation.
