ECO RANCH
GREEN ANCHOR BUSINESS
4. Eco Ranch
RREVDR Sustainable Eco Ranch operates as an integrative system that combines programs with Equine Center, Petting Zoo, Animal Therapy, Care Farm Programs, Animal Rescue. It also operates in research and internship programs. With emphasis in green or-ganic practices, RREVDR Sustainable Eco Ranch uses the highest standards for animal ranch lifestyle. Animals are inte- grated into sustainable ranch practices and programs with natural foraging, organic feed, free range & rotational pastures. Options are available to expand animals-- Horses, Cattle, Goats, Buffalo, Donkeys, Pigs, Miniature Horses, Ponies, Sheep, Alpacas and Lamas, Mules Chickens. Horses interact in grazing pastures and meadows with other ranch animals including cows, goats, llamas, alpacas, sheep donkeys. With careful management and rotational grazing, animals provide a sustaining ecological func- tion that conserves and protects the range land and increases the biomass and diversity available for other species.
RREVDR Eco Ranch imitates Nature by restoring landscapes and speeding up processes of natural succession by planting many useful species together and letting them play out their natural evolution. By carefully observing the natural progression, we can guide the system to maturity. In an overgrazed pas- ture, we can introduce a beneficial weevil to control thistles. We plant annual and perennial legumes to fix nitrogen in the soil. By establishing useful species like alfalfa, comfrey and prairie coneflower, this will help speed the progression to a productive, self-reliant system. To get the regenerative process off to a good start, we introduce beneficial pioneer trees, such as black locust, along fence lines. Although the pasture must at first be protected from cattle, in time it will support grazing, and will also produce firewood, herbs and fruit.
Diversity in a sustainable eco farm system is indicated not by the number of its components, but by the number of symbiotic rela-tionships among them. Multiple associations nurture each life form, thereby increasing the stability and resilience of the whole system. The edge between two ecosystems can have diverse relationships between land species, water species, and special-ized wetland species. RREVDR uses clean technologies that rely on gravity, radiant and renewable energy and natural materials while imitating nature.
