Happy 50th Anniversary to Ward & Rosie Burroughs! 🎉 🌟 Over half a century together, they've championed regenerative organic agriculture, working tirelessly to restore our land and encourage countless others to do the same. 🌱 We're inspired by one of Rosie's favorite sayings, "May the waters in the creeks you cross run clear and cold, the mountains you climb be blanketed with snow and the meadows you reach be covered with green grass." Through their many years of regenerative advocacy, Ward & Rosie are helping transform this vision into reality, so that future generations may inhabit a healthy, thriving planet. We're so grateful for everything you've done to make the world a better place. 💛 🌎 Here's to 50 fabulous years together and cheers to many more! 🥂 #burroughsfamilyfarms #regenerativefarming #regenerativeag #covercrops #knowyourfarmer #regenerativealmonds #certifiedregenerative #centralvalley #regenerativeorganic #farmliketheworlddependsonit

DYK that 35% of the world's food crops (that's one in every three bites of food) depend on pollinators to reproduce? 🌾 From bees, beetles and butterflies to birds, bats and moths, pollinators play a vital role in our ecosystems, economies and agriculture. 🐝🦋🐞🦇🐦 By adopting regenerative organic practices that provide pollinator-friendly habitats and farm without synthetic pesticides, herbicides and fertilizers, we're helping to protect the small yet mighty creatures essential to feeding our world. 💚 #PollinatorWeek #burroughsfamilyfarms #regenerativefarming #regenerativeag #covercrops #knowyourfarmer #regenerativealmonds #certifiedregenerative #centralvalley #regenerativeorganic #farmliketheworlddependsonit #pollinators Regenerative Organic Alliance

This Father's Day we celebrate the generations of fathers who have helped shape our world into a better place. In 1894, our great-grandfather Benjamin Rendall Burroughs came to California from Springfield, Illinois to find his future in the Oakland/Berkeley hills. He established a dairy with his two brothers Ernest and Willis, selling bottled milk to customers in the Bay area. In 1906, he relocated the dairy to a fertile farm in Knightsen, California and married Edna Belle Nelson soon after. They raised five children on the farm, the last of whom was our grandfather Ernest Burroughs (pictured with Ward and Benina), born in 1922. When Benjamin passed away in 1942, Ernest returned home to help manage the farm. He married our grandmother MaryLoo Saunders in 1947 and continued to manage the Burroughs Brothers/Cloverleaf Farms Dairy and Creamery with his brother Oscar. Our father, Ward Burroughs (pictured with Benina and Christina), was born in 1952 and raised on the dairy, where he grew up with cows, horses, pigs and a tremendous love of our family farm. In the 1970s, our grandfather Ernest found our present-day farm in the northern San Joaquin Valley. Ward met Rosie at Cal Poly SLO and they married in 1974 and together managed the farm in Merced County, first planting almonds, then olives and walnuts. By 2015 they had completely transitioned to certified organic farming. Their commitment to regenerative practices that restore the land continues to this day. This Sunday we honor the legacy of Benjamin, Ernest and Ward Burroughs, along with all the others whose hard work and dedication have helped to build a healthier future for our land and our loved ones. The values you've instilled in us are reflected in every product that makes its way from our farm to your table. To all the fathers who inspire us daily, thank you for your unwavering love and perseverance. #FathersDay #FathersDay2024 #BurroughsFamilyFarms #FarmLikeTheWorldDependsOnIt #RegenerativeFarming #RegenerativeOrganic #SoilHealth #RegenerativeAg

🌳 **End of an Era, Beginning of a New Chapter** 🌳 This year marks a poignant milestone for our family and farm. The last of the orchards my father, Ward Burroughs, planted between 1988 and 2000 has come to an end. These orchards were more than just trees; they represented decades of dedication, hard work, and the enduring legacy of a man deeply committed to the land. As we bid farewell to these orchards, we embark on an exciting new chapter in our farming journey. Our approach to replanting will honor the past while embracing the future. Instead of deep ripping and opening up the ground, a goal will be to focus on enhancing soil health by working with cover crops and adding biology to the soil. This shift is not just about changing techniques—it's about fostering a healthier, more sustainable ecosystem. By prioritizing soil health and diversity, we aim to create orchards that are resilient, vibrant, and capable of thriving for generations to come. I want to take a moment to thank everyone who has supported us throughout the years. Your trust and encouragement have been invaluable. Here's to honoring the legacy of the past while innovating for a brighter, greener future. #burroughsfamilyfarms #regenerative #regenerativeorganic #regenerativefarming #regenerativeagriculture #soilhealth #sustainability #covercrops #farming #farmliketheworlddependsonit Regenerative Organic Alliance

At last month's Soil Health Academy, regen expert Gabe Brown shared that "for every 'bad' pest, there are 1,700 beneficial or neutral ones." 🐞 🦋 🐝 It's pretty astounding. At BFF, we use regenerative practices like cover crops and no-till farming to attract these beneficial insects, support biodiversity, restore soil health, and support ecological balance. Our future depends on how we farm now. #WorldEnvironmentDay2024 #burroughsfamilyfarms #regenerativefarming #regenerativeorganic #regenerativeagriculture #worldenvironmentday #climateawareness #soilhealth

Get egg-cited for #NationalEggDay with BFF! 🐔🥚 Our chickens live in mobile coops that we move throughout our organic pastures -- the hens can go in and out as they please and munch on a wide variety of plants and insects from our fields, which in turn cycles nutrients and helps support soil health. ♻️ 🌱 The result? Farm-fresh, truly free-range eggs that are packed with nutrients and downright delicious. 🍳 #burroughsfamilyfarms #regenerativefarming #regenerativeorganic #regenerativeagriculture #eggs #pasturedeggs #organiceggs
