HMI Learning Sites

Share Your Knowledge. Spread Hope.

The interest in Holistic Management continues to grow as our Holistic Management community continues to expand, providing knowledge, proven methods for agricultural success, and hope for the future. For this reason, HMI has created a network of geographically dispersed learning/demonstration sites that are long-time Holistically Managed working operations who provide the public access to their operations to give them the opportunity to observe Holistic Management in practice and learn how to increase the productivity and profitability of farms/ranches.

The following HMI Learning Sites have met all requirements to formally partner with HMI on the sharing of Holistic Management with the public. HMI also provides curriculum and outreach support to these sites for the mutual benefit of all stakeholders in the regenerative agriculture community. Please look at the listings below and reach out to these exceptional educational sites to learn more.
