At Regener8 Farm our mission is to grow nutrient dense foods using regenerative practices working from the ground up by feeding the soil and promoting a thriving farm ecology through biodiversity. We grow food to feed and connect with our community and to educate the next generation of young growers and consumers.

Regener8 Farm and Retreat was founded in November of 2021, conceived by David and Leila Centner, with the intention of providing nutritious food and educational opportunities for the students and families of the Centner Academy, and for the community at large. From its founding Regener8 has grown quickly into a diverse operation with many types of growing systems including 2.5 acres of market garden fields, a hydroponics operation (NFT tables, Grow Towers and Buckets), Aquaponics and Aquaculture, a diversified orchard with over 12 varieties of tropical and sub-tropical fruits, a cage-free egg layer operation, bee hives managed by our partner bee-keeper Keys Beez and much more. The future holds many plans for the farm including mushroom production and an onsite farmers’ market. The wellness retreat is planned as a lushly landscaped and serene relaxation environment that will contain a meditation center, overnight lodging, dining hall, glamping, spa/healing center, walking paths, recreational spaces and water features.

You hear a lot of terms used when it comes to food…. Local, organic, regenerative, sustainable but what does it all mean and how do you know what is best ? At Regener8 we work from the ground up giving attention to our soil through no-till practices, composting, cover cropping, and by using no chemical pesticides and fertilizers. We harvest the food we bring to you only a few days or sometimes hours from delivery. We let our chickens roam freely and feed them organic corn and soy free feed. We give our hydroponics vegetables compost teas to increase their nutritional value. We reuse the waste from our chickens, fish and even the school lunches and turn it back into nutrients through composting. We do these things and much more in order to continually improve our farming practices, prioritize the health of our soil, plants, and animals, and nurture the connections between our farm and our community. We are committed to being the most productive, regenerative, and thoughtful stewards of the land that we can be.
