Mad! Lands Anthem
So Mad Lands? What does that mean, exactly?
Come along and meet the Mad! Lands Team, and hear from Peter Healy, our Director of Mad! Lands as he talks a little bit about the work we do on the land, and how we might be able to help your farm. So press play - you might learn a thing or two, maybe you'll want to shoot us a DM, or perhaps you'll even crack a smile.

These photos are so 🌟beautiuful🌟
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!
