How does Goldholly help American farmers?
For our yaupon holly sourced from Texas, our partners harvest yaupon that grows in dense thickets, crowding out other undergrowth to the detriment of the broader ecosystem. Harvesting this yaupon improves the land for grazing + farming and reduces the amount of harmful herbicides that farmers would otherwise use to reduce yaupon growth.
For our yaupon holly sourced from Georgia / Florida, our partners run a regenerative yaupon agriculture operation: improving long-leaf pine ecosystems and creating jobs + living wages in rural communities.
