Tillery Timmons-Sims visits with Josh Davis of JC Acre to talk about first-generation farming, pasture-raised chickens, local food, and the realities of building a regenerative farm in the Texas Panhandle. Josh shares how he and his wife began using family land near Canyon to raise laying hens, pigs, and eventually expand toward a more diverse, multi-species operation.
The conversation explores soil health, Dust Bowl history, regenerative agriculture, the challenges of making local food accessible, and the difference between global food production and local food systems. It’s an honest and thoughtful look at what it means to farm with intention, care for the land, and build something meaningful for the next generation.
