About
Harry Cope is a dedicated regenerative grazier and lifelong steward of the land at Cope Grass Farm in Missouri. Raised in a family with deep roots in agriculture, Harry has spent decades refining his approach to holistic land management, focusing on soil health, diverse pasture ecosystems, and livestock integration. His commitment to regenerative practices has not only improved the resilience of his own farm but also serves as a model for others seeking to transition away from conventional methods.
With a passion for education and mentorship, Harry actively shares his knowledge with fellow farmers, helping them unlock the economic and ecological benefits of regenerative grazing. He believes that healthy soils produce healthier livestock, stronger rural communities, and a more sustainable future. Through on-farm workshops, speaking engagements, and hands-on consulting, he empowers others to adopt methods that regenerate the land while maintaining profitability.
At Cope Grass Farm, Harry raises cattle and sheep on a diverse, thriving pasture system that mimics natural grazing patterns. By prioritising soil biology, perennial forages, and adaptive management, he has built a farm that captures carbon, improves water retention, and produces nutrient-dense food. His work stands as proof that regenerative agriculture is not just an ideal—it’s a practical, profitable way forward for farmers committed to restoring the land.
