We are more disconnected from our food than we ever have been. I sit down with ranchers and farmers to give them a voice and hear their stories, helping paint a picture of what it really looks like to support humanity with food. I also will be talking to others involved in the agriculture space as there is a lot that goes into it all. My hope is that from hearing this podcast you will begin to question what you eat and where from.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-22T22:18:01.640689+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-regenaissance-podcast-6720188"},"episode":{"title":"Building a Regenerative Ranch Around Bison (Live Farm Tour) - TLC Ranch | #110","slug":"building-a-regenerative-ranch-around-bison-live-farm-tour-tlc-ranch-110","published_at":"2026-03-11T10:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-regenaissance-podcast-6720188/building-a-regenerative-ranch-around-bison-live-farm-tour-tlc-ranch-110","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-regenaissance-podcast-6720188","url":"https://share.transistor.fm/s/4e9fce07","audio_url":"https://media.transistor.fm/4e9fce07/d8380705.mp3","summary":"Fascinating episode, touring a regenerative bison and pecan farm! A first for me. A bit about the ranch & tour... TLC ranch is located in Souther Oklahoma. It's ran by Cindy Sheffield (who tours us today) and her husband Tread and their two daughters and husbands, where they raise bison and manage a large organic pecan orchard. The ranch began in 1997 when the family purchased land that many others had passed on, seeing potential where others did not. What started as weekend trips for hunting and time outdoors gradually turned into a long-term commitment to steward the land. Over the years the family developed ponds, trails, and eventually planted thousands of pecan trees, which are now grown using organic and regenerative practices. More recently they fulfilled a long-standing goal of bringing bison back to the property. Today the ranch combines pecan production with bison grazing, reflecting the family’s focus on building a working farm that supports both the land and the people who depend on it.
