American Regeneration
The New American Dream
A two-day gathering at the intersection of land, liberty, food, and the future of America.
May 1st & 2nd
Sovereignty Ranch in Bandera, Texas
A Different Kind of Gathering
Join Mollie Engelhart, Rick Clark, Matt Powers, and other leaders at the forefront of regenerative agriculture for two days of practical insight, courageous conversation, and real-world solutions.
American Regeneration is about:
Land stewardship
Livestock integration
Nutrient-dense food
Local economies
Family resilience
Community sovereignty
It’s about restoring health to soil, food systems, people, and the American spirit.
This is where farmers, ranchers, homesteaders, entrepreneurs, health practitioners, policymakers, and families come together to build The New American Dream.
Presented in Partnership
American Regeneration is a nonprofit dedicated to advancing regenerative agriculture practices that restore soil health and strengthen human wellbeing through public education, strategic advocacy, and systems-level action. Rooted in the belief that “a nation that heals its soil heals itself,” the organization works with farmers, policymakers, and communities to elevate regenerative solutions that improve farm profitability, boost nutrient-dense food production, and build resilient, locally grounded food systems for the future.
Acres U.S.A. is a leading voice in ecological agriculture education, supporting farmers, ranchers, and land stewards with information that improves soil health, farm resilience, and ecological outcomes. For over five decades, Acres U.S.A. has championed biologically based farming practices through its trusted magazine, conferences, and community resources — equipping producers with the tools, research, and real-world insights needed to succeed and build thriving agricultural businesses.
Sovereignty Ranch is a 200-acre regenerative farm and ranch in the Texas Hill Country dedicated to demonstrating practical land stewardship, ecological balance, and sustainable food production. Focused on regenerative livestock and pasture systems, the ranch serves as a living classroom where soil health, animal welfare, and holistic farm design come together — providing an inspiring backdrop for the American Regeneration Conference and a true working example of land-based resilience in action.

About Acres U.S.A.
Acres U.S.A. is North America’s oldest publisher on production-scale organic, ecological and regenerative farming. For more than 50 years, our mission has been to help farmers, ranchers, market gardeners and land owners grow food profitably and regeneratively
We offer a full range of educational products — including books and pamphlets, a monthly magazine, webinars, podcasts, online courses and both large-venue and on-farm events — to help producers find timely, practical and well-tested knowledge and advice on just about any agricultural topic
Acres U.S.A. is committed to providing information about agricultural production systems that can regenerate the soil, support the farmer and rancher, and bring healthy, nutritious food to the consumer. We bring both new and time-tested voices to the discussion of “what is to be done” when it comes to building soil health, raising healthy animals and growing nutritious crops. We amplify the work of modern agricultural leaders and innovators, and we support all efforts to increase the resilience of our farms and ranches — and the people who anchor and feed our nation.
The books we sell, and the speakers at our events, and the editors of our monthly eNewsletter and farmer-facing website represent generations of experience in building — not mining — soils. The lessons they teach are fundamental: to farm economically, one must do so ecologically.
But don’t just listen to us, here’s what past attendees have said!
