Regenerative certification asks a lot of the people already doing the work. In this interview, Carnation Farms' Director of Regenerative Agriculture Eric Popp talks candidly about what a seal actually costs a working farm — in paperwork, fees, and staff hours — and what it has to give back to be worth pursuing. He explains why practices matter more to him than branding, and why Carnation is building buyer relationships before certification rather than after.

Farm to Crag brought climbers, farmers, chefs, and food producers together for a day that started on Index granite and ended at Carnation Farms' dinner table. This recap walks through the regenerative grazing tour, a leg-of-lamb butchery demonstration, and a meal built entirely from the people who raised, grew, and cooked it — and what climbers and farmers have to learn from each other.

Our coconut milk has five ingredients. The coconut base — nearly the entire carton — comes from a 640-acre mixed-crop operation in Sri Lanka's Nittambuwa region, where coconuts grow alongside jackfruit, mango, pepper, and teak on land certified Regenerative Organic Certified® Bronze.

Because a layered product deserves a layered claim.
