Holistic grazing with horses at regenerative farm in Spain

Listen on:

This week, we visit Curly Creek Ranch in northern Spain and meet the unstoppable Meghan Sapp, a holistic grazing expert and co-founder of the Savory Institute’s hub for Spain.

Learn how holistic grazing, soil biodiversity, and smart ecosystem design created a farm so resilient it feeds itself — and the local economy.

In this episode, we dive into:

  • How to turn compacted, degraded land into a regenerative agriculture success story using horses, chickens, and goats
  • The role of holistic grazing in boosting pasture productivity — while reducing hay costs
  • Partnering with a top local restaurant to bring farm-to-table sourcing and regenerative practices together
  • The relationship between holistic management, soil health and nutrient density
  • How regenerative farming principles contribute to climate resilience, food quality, and economic viability
  • Insights from the Savory Institute’s ecological outcome verification for tracking regeneration and carbon sequestration

Whether you’re a regenerative farmer, chef, soil scientist, or simply curious about sustainable food systems — this episode is packed with actionable insights, inspiring stories, and serious soil wisdom.

This episode was produced in partnership with Soil Capital, a company that supports regenerative agriculture by financially rewarding farmers who improve soil health & biodiversity.
