photo by Bill Bartlett Regenerative farming and ranching are fast becoming mainstream and one of Sisters’ most iconic ranches is heading at full steam into the movement.
Under regenerative practices, agriculture goes beyond sustainable. Regenerative agricultural methods seek to add to the soil through a self-nourishing ecological system. It’s a closed-loop system that doesn’t halt humans’ impact on the environment but reverses it.
Regenerative farming focuses on restoring soils that have been degraded by industrial, agricultural systems. Its methods promote healthier ecosystems by rebuilding soil organic matter through holistic farming and grazing techniques.
City launching major biosolids project
By Sue Stafford Tuesday, February 2, 2021 12:02 PM The 2.1-acre wastewater treatment lagoon known as Pond One will be the site of a biosolids removal project next month. After being dredged from the pond, the biosolids will be treated and spread as fertilizer on the Cityâs 50 acres of the Lazy Z Ranch where orchard grass will be grown and harvested.

New board advises public works
By Sue Stafford Tuesday, February 2, 2021 11:36 AM The newest advisory board created by resolution of the Sisters City Council is the Public Works Advisory Board, which just began meeting in January.
Public Works Director Paul Bertagna is enthused about the experience and expertise of the five new board members.
Robert Hatfield volunteered for the board because he thought it “would be a good way to learn more about Sisters.” He has experience as a civil engineer, a construction manager, and in real estate.
John Herman, the new owner of the Lazy Z Ranch, wanted to “get plugged in to the community” and is interested in future traffic plans. He moved to Sisters because he grew up on a ranch and wanted to raise his 3- and 5-year-old children here.
