Grazing Grass exists for one purpose: to help graziers grow more grass, build better soil, and raise livestock that thrive on pasture.
What started as a simple podcast in 2020 has grown into a community and resource hub for farmers and ranchers who care about regenerative grazing and who want to learn from people working in the real world, not in theory.
Every week, we share conversations with graziers who are improving their land, managing livestock with intention, and building operations that actually work. These stories come from beef producers, dairy graziers, sheep and goat folks, homesteaders, first generation farmers, multi generation operations, and everyone in between. If they are listening to their grass, we want to learn from them.
Grazing Grass was founded by Cal Hardage, a grazier from Northeast Oklahoma who moved from dairy cows to beef cattle, hair sheep, meat goats, and honey bees. Cal has spent years experimenting with regenerative practices on family land at Hardage Farms and his own operation at Hedge Apple Acres. The podcast grew out of a desire to learn, to ask better questions, and to create a place where farmers could share what is working without judgment or ego.
Today, Grazing Grass includes:
- The Grazing Grass Podcast, a weekly show featuring real producers and practical grazing insights
- The Ready, Set, Graze newsletter, a weekly email with useful grazing ideas
- The Grazing Grass Community, a welcoming place for graziers to ask questions, share updates, and learn from each other
- The Grazing Grass Masterclass, a deeper learning experience with structure, accountability, and support
- The Famous Four Vault, a searchable archive of producer answers to the four signature questions
- Tools, templates, and resources created by and for graziers
At its core, Grazing Grass is a simple idea:
listen to the grass, listen to each other, and keep getting better.
Thanks for being here. Whether you manage 15 acres or 1,500, and whether you are seasoned or just getting started, you are welcome in this community of graziers who want to do right by their land, their livestock, and their families.
