Jesse McDougall and his wife, Caroline, own and operate Studio Hill—a pasture-based regenerative farm—on their family’s fourth-generation farm in southern Vermont. In 2012, Jesse and Caroline began transitioning their farm away from conventional practices to regenerative, organic practices—mainly mob grazing with sheep and poultry, no-till annual vegetables, fruit orchards, and beekeeping. In 2017, the team at Studio Hill began developing a 4.5-acre perennial food forest on land that was formerly clear-cut for timber. In 2015 and 2016, Jesse helped to write and introduce legislation that would promote regenerative agricultural practices within Vermont.
