— About Etta Hills Farm —

America is losing a farm a day. We bought one to keep.

One farm. One piece of Mississippi worth saving.

— Our anchor —

Bought to keep. Regenerated to feed.

We bought this land to keep it, regenerate it, and raise our families on it — so we can feed yours from it. We're rebuilding tired Mississippi soil acre by acre, raising the beef, chicken, pork, and lamb that comes from soil we've healed, not mined.

— 2021 to today —

Leave it better than we found it.

When we took it on, this was old, degraded farmland — grazed flat, cut over, more than 40% of the soil bare. Regeneration isn't a destination you arrive at; it's a practice you repeat, season after season. Four years in, here's what the measurements show — and the work is never done.

The people behind the farm

Dr. Allen Williams

Dr. Allen Williams

Co-founder

Dr. Allen Williams is a sixth-generation farmer, Ph.D. animal scientist, and internationally recognized leader in regenerative agriculture. After spending fifteen years on the faculty at Louisiana Tech University and Mississippi State University, he left academia in 2000 to dedicate his career to advancing regenerative farming and ranching. Over the past two decades, he has worked alongside thousands of farmers and ranchers across the world, helping restore soil health, improve farm profitability, and regenerate agricultural landscapes.

Dr. Williams was a founding partner of Understanding Ag, Soil Health Academy, and Regenified, helping establish organizations that have played a significant role in advancing the regenerative agriculture movement. Today, he continues that mission as the co-founder of Libertas Land, where he focuses on education, consulting, and building resilient regenerative food systems.

While he was not featured on screen, Dr. Williams contributed to the regenerative agriculture movement highlighted in the documentaries Kiss the Ground and Common Ground through his leadership and collaboration with many of the individuals and organizations involved in those films. He has also contributed to projects including Roots So Deep and Sacred Cow, and has shared his work through appearances such as TEDxBoston and The Dr. Oz Show.

Born and raised in South Carolina, Dr. Williams has called Mississippi home for more than 30 years. At Etta Hills Farm, he is applying the same regenerative principles he has taught around the world—demonstrating how healthy soils, thriving ecosystems, profitable farms, and nutrient-dense food all begin with proper stewardship of the land.

At Etta Hills Farm, Christopher is focused on building a profitable, scalable model of regenerative agriculture that produces exceptional food while restoring soil health, improving ecosystem function, and creating opportunities for future generations. His vision is to demonstrate that regenerative agriculture can be environmentally restorative, economically viable, and a lasting investment in healthier communities.

James Triplett

James Triplett

Marketing & Sales Director

Trip is a co-founder and the person who gets Etta Hills meat from pasture to plate. His background spans strategic consulting, brand communication, and supply chain — a combination that lets him do two things that don't usually live in the same job: tell the regenerative story so it lands with families, chefs, and retail buyers, and run the logistics that get the food there cold and on time. He builds the relationships — customers, distributors, community partners — that turn a farm into a food system.

Taylor Anglin

Taylor Anglin

Livestock Manager

Taylor runs the animals. As Livestock Manager she oversees rotation planning, pasture health, and the diverse-species integration that's central to how Etta Hills rebuilds soil. She helps set the farm's strategic direction. She's also the face most visitors meet — leading tours, running field days, and explaining adaptive grazing to anyone who shows up curious. If you've been to the farm, you've probably talked to Taylor.

About the farm

How long have you been farming this land?

We bought back this piece of north Mississippi in 2021 — 800 acres of red clay that had been timbered and walked away from. Allen had been farming regeneratively for decades before that, but Etta Hills as a family-run, direct-to-consumer farm is a recent chapter. The plan is generational: we're farming for the eighth generation, not the next quarter.

Is the farm open to visitors?

Yes — the gate's open. We run tours regularly and welcome anyone curious about how the meat in their freezer actually gets raised. Book a visit at Visit the Farm.

How can I support the farm beyond buying meat?

Order direct (it's the best way to keep the farm financially independent), tell a friend, follow us on Instagram and Facebook for the day-to-day, and come visit. If you're a journalist, documentary filmmaker, or fellow farmer interested in the regenerative work specifically, reach out — we like that conversation.
