ABOUT:

We are growing the first MEA Regenerative Community on Saddleback Ranch, grounded in our 4 Pillars of Regeneration:
Soil, Soul, Community, Locale.
Saddleback Ranch consists of 2,566 acres of Pinyon Pine and Juniper Savannah located 30 minutes south of Santa Fe, NM.
To fulfill our mission to regenerate the land, soil, water cycle, and biodiversity, we are creating a regenerative grazing program centered around a herd of horses, and perhaps eventually other types of livestock.
We are looking to initially compile a herd by offering pasture boarding for retired horses and are also exploring a non-profit model for horse and livestock rescue.
The revenue from these services will fund the grazing management while the herd is used to regenerate the land and complement the culture and educational offerings of MEA.
All ranch management and grazing planning will be done via a Holistic Management decision making process in order to balance and achieve the three priority outcomes:
ecological, economic, and social.
The Ranch Manager (RM) is responsible for coordinating and executing all aspects of grazing operations.
The RM will oversee the care and health of all livestock, livestock grazing and feeding, pasture quality and rotation, fencing maintenance, road maintenance, water resources, livestock traceability, water pipeline infrastructure and facility maintenance, and client relationships.
