San Jose, CA: San Jose and South Bay WAPF chapter April potluck. For more information please e-mail Olga at . Please join us for our April potluck/speaker event featuring Joe Morris of T.O. Cattle company!
www.morrisgrassfed.com
Born in 1962 and raised in the city of San Francisco, Joe is the fifth
generation of his family to steward land and cattle in California. Joe has
worked on buckaroo crews in Nevada and California, as a lay missioner,
community organizer and social worker with the Catholic Church in Latin
America, and has taught high school in Washington, D.C. Since 1991, he and
his wife, Julie, have used the Holistic ManagementR decision making
framework to enhance the health of their community and land and to produce a
living from their work. They have two children, Sarah and Jack.
T.O. Cattle company leases the six ranches it manages, two of which belong
to the California State Parks, while one belongs to the Elkhorn Slough
Foundation. On these ranches they run pasture cattle for others, their own
cows, calves and yearlings, and, since 1995, they have marketed Morris
Grassfed BeefT directly to families in the Central Coast.
As results of their management decisions they are a profitable ecosystem
based business whose lands are improving even as productivity has risen. On
one state park, for example, in the last five years, they are now able to
run roughly 25% more AUMs on the same land. In that same time period they
have seen vigor return to the native plant populations, particularly oak
trees, riparian vegetation and perennial grasses. Furthermore, soil that
was once bare is now covered. Perhaps most importantly, relationships
between people collaborating with T.O. Cattle Company who at one time had
little trust for each other are steadily gaining trust for each other and
improving their ability to work together.
