A Pile of Fence Post and a Pickup
Newlyweds Josiah and Sarah Harder live in Arrow J. Acres in Fort Pierre, South Dakota. Sarah ventured out to South Dakota to help out Josiah collect some cows in Montana, and the rest, as they say, is history.
At the end of the day, what they do is simple. They move cows, they set up fences, and they give cows grass. It's good, hard work, and it's meaningful. In Josiah's words, their management style is just common sense. They take care of themselves, they take care of the people they work with, and they take care of the land. Take a look at our short film with the Harder's, exploring a little bit of what they're all about.

Love this. Makes me wanna two step.
Clark where you at its jer
this is the original MAD Farmer!!! :D
Great concept I would love to see this idea expand to agroforestry.
Nice work Fitzgerald family!
"Just" is such an interesting word and you don't hear that much in Ag speak. We stop hearing it when they switch the organic program from social justice hippies to "family" farms. Thanks for being the word back I wish you well.
This is such beautiful energy. There's too many quotes here that light me up! - What does this land want to be?….. What does this land need US to be!" This is magical!
Very Cool! Neat to see Kernza! Stay Mad
Nice video guys! We love Luke, Ali and the kiddos!
Beautiful! #regenerativeagriculture #soilhealth #KisstheGround
This video gives me hope. Well done. Truly inspiring.
Looks great, and wonderful to see my cousin Clark in many scenes. Stay safe, and happy farming!
