The Future of Farming


We believe regenerative agriculture is the future of farming.

The Center for Regenerative Agriculture (CRA) at Union Grove Farm is a unique education center and demonstration farm providing resources and support to farmers and agriculture community focused on regenerative agriculture practices, along with meeting and conference space in Hillsborough, North Carolina.

Welcome to the Center for Regenerative Agriculture (CRA)

Join us on our mission to provide a center for thought leadership, education, demonstration and promotion of regenerative agriculture practices, to restore soil resiliency, increase farmer profitability, sequester carbon and help the transition from conventional farming by providing a blueprint for next generation farmers. 

Leading the way in regenerative agriculture

Union Grove Farm is proud to be a certified regenerative farm and vineyard. We have worked hard to build a comprehensive practice that encompasses the core principles of regenerative agriculture, and now, we are sharing this expertise with curious farmers to support their transition to more profitable, resilient and sustainable farming. 

Through the our partnership with The Honeysuckle Teahouse, we’ve created the CRA with the aim to be an information resource, a place to organize and host educational field days, webinars, workshops and conferences, and a place to foster a love of regenerative agriculture practices – wherever you are in your regenerative journey. 

The CRA Conference Center

Our well-appointed conference center is available to lease for your next meeting or event. Nestled at the edge of our beautiful farm pastures, this conference center can accommodate 100+ guests and includes a main meeting space and four breakout rooms. Host an event or customize with one of our farm tours, sheep experiences, tea or wine tasting offerings. 

“Regenerative agriculture implies more than just sustaining something but rather an active rebuilding or regeneration of existing systems towards full health. It also implies an open-ended process of ongoing improvement and positive transformation.”
