The future of the planet is in our hands.

 

Welcome to the first regenerative agriculture mastermind hosted by Rep Provisions at their Double P Ranch just outside Tulsa, Oklahoma, in collaboration with Coach Tara Garrison, Food Lies, the Savory Institute, and the Noble Research Institute.

 

The purpose of this mastermind is to provide visual educational content to the general public about the importance of regenerative agriculture, and educate those who are interested as to how we can best help.

The costs of the event will be distributed amongst attendees and we will have that number once we have a final headcount. We do have a few spots open, so if you'd like to attend, please email Tara at [email protected] and she will get you taken care of.
