Season 5: Faithful Investing

The Far Reach

A regenerative agriculture alliance story

How can seasoned entrepreneurs from very different origins invest together to improve the food supply, foster sustainability, and nurture people’s deep rootedness?
Out of its abundance, Fred Billing’s Buds & Blossoms, a vertically integrated landscape design, plant farm and plant distribution family business in Houston, invests in the health and well-being of its neighbors. It is planting the seeds of intellectual, relational, spiritual, and financial capital as an act of stewardship to improve the food supply, promote regenerative agriculture, and deepen people’s relationship with each other and with God. An alliance with Greg DuMontier and The Confederated Salish & Kootenai Tribe in Montana is collaboratively re-developing the tribe’s agricultural economy, its food supply, and its cultural connection to the land.
