"Nicole led a 3-day workshop in November 2024 on several of our broadacre arable farms in Timau, Kenya. Within the first hour she had shattered our perceptions on what we perceived as  "progressive" - and lit up an exhilarating path forward into a future where farmers were proud, independent custodians - and the soil was fully alive, nourishing and magnificent. 12 months later and through the Integrity Soils Fellowship we are several steps "deeper". Transitioning to Regenerative Agriculture / Natural Intelligence Farming is NOT easy without the right combination of gentle mentorship and guided practical application. As we look ahead to all the work that must be done, this 3-day workshop will forever mark the start line on which we all tentatively stepped, with the dream of one day converting 20,000Ha of farmland into an agro-ecosystem that produces great food, challenges the status quo and inspires all those lucky enough to wonder across it.
