Alex’s passion for conservation is driven by his belief that good food can sustain healthy people and a healthy environment. Owner of Robinette Farms, Alex’s experience spans vegetable to meat production, using a broad range of techniques to build an operation that minimizes off-farm inputs, reduces detrimental environmental impacts, and provides opportunities for community education.
Having come from a non-farming background, Alex understands the significance of peer education among farmers. As such, he now uses his expertise to teach producers of all experience levels about topics such as grazing management and infrastructure, multi-species grazing, and transitioning crop ground to perennial pasture, as well as business skills including direct marketing strategies.
