Fredericksburg and online – Restoring Functional Ecosystems with Regenerative Agriculture

This introduction to the website of ROAM Ranch is descriptive of the confidence that Taylor and Katie Collins have in their vision of building and operating a multi-species regenerative ecosystem in which soil building practices are integrated into every aspect of land management.

In nature’s image, biodiversity is a key aspect of the ranch. Taylor raises bison, ducks, chickens, turkeys, geese, pigs, and intentionally creates habitat for both native and migratory species to co-create on this landscape.

Within 5 years of management the ranch has seen dramatic improvements in soil carbon, water infiltration, plant diversity, and soil health. As a living demonstration to the potential of regenerative land management, the ranch annually hosts thousands of guests from all over the country . Standing in the midst of a dramatic demonstration, Taylor spreads his hands to a positive method of building the land.

When not wrangling bison, Taylor enjoys spending time outdoors with his family, trail running, cycling, – and  planting trees.
