This Zero Waste, Organic, Regenerative Farm is Changing Agriculture!

John from http://www.growingyourgreens.com visits Lion Fruit Farms, a leading zero-waste, organic, regenerative farm transforming agriculture in South Florida.

In this episode, you’ll explore Lion Farms, a pioneering regenerative farm in Homestead, Florida, dedicated to organic, zero-waste farming methods that enrich soil health and biodiversity. John takes viewers on an exclusive tour of this innovative 15-acre farm, showcasing how they create their own soil fertility using worms, composting, aquaponics, and biochar.

Lion Farms produces high-quality worm castings and compost tea on-site, eliminating the need for chemical fertilizers. Their closed-loop, zero-waste system repurposes farm by-products, spent mushroom blocks, and rabbit manure to regenerate the soil naturally. The farm also grows a diverse selection of fruits, vegetables, microgreens, and gourmet mushrooms like Lion’s Mane and Blue Oyster, supplying local restaurants and markets.

The episode highlights the farm’s collaboration with FIU and other universities to conduct research on biochar, cover crops, and sustainable growing techniques. You’ll discover how this farm not only produces exceptional organic food but also serves as a living lab for agricultural innovation.

John shares how Lion Farms integrates aquaponics, vermiculture, and agroforestry to create a resilient, regenerative ecosystem. Whether you're passionate about soil health, organic food, or cutting-edge farming, this tour offers practical insights and inspiration for anyone interested in the future of sustainable agriculture.
