Overview
Regenerative farm raising pasture-raised beef, pork, lamb, grains, and honey, with farm-to-table dinners and educational tours.
Pasture Grazed Regenerative Farm is a family-run operation in Clare, Illinois, led by the Sanderson family across two generations. The farm raises cattle, sheep, and pigs on pasture and grows grains, selling beef, pork, meat bundles, farm grains, and honey through its online farm store and bulk order program. It also hosts an annual farm-to-table dining experience on the property and offers educational farm tours by appointment. Farmer Dan Sanderson received the Illinois Leopold Conservation Award in 2025 and authored the book "Grounded: One Farmer's Journey to Regenerative Agriculture". The farm also partners with other regenerative farmers in the region to broaden access to pasture-raised food beyond its own acreage. Learn more on their About Page.
Pasture Grazed Regenerative Farm centers its approach on soil health, using regenerative agriculture practices including rotational grazing, cover cropping, and livestock integration. The farm practices multispecies grazing, rotating cattle and sheep together across pastures to reduce parasite pressure, encourage diverse forage regrowth, and distribute nutrients more evenly. Pigs rotate through a separate pasture section each year. A donkey guards the sheep from predators, and goats manage brush in hard-to-reach areas. Cattle are grass-fed and grain-finished on corn and oats grown on the farm. Animals are raised without added hormones. Pastures feature mainly native perennial forages, with animals occasionally grazing crop residue and cover crops chosen for soil health and animal nutrition. In 2025 the farm added GPS-enabled, solar-powered virtual fencing to its cattle operation to support adaptive grazing and protect sensitive areas such as waterways.
