Heritage Roots.
Modern Systems.
A closed-loop silvopasture weaving heritage orchards, working dogs, and regenerative land stewardship into a self-sustaining Ozark operation.
The Approach
Systems thinking applied to heritage agriculture.
Cur Dog Creek integrates Ozark-native orchards, managed silvopasture, and a cidery operation into a single closed-loop system — where every output feeds the next stage, and the land grows stronger each year.
The Orchard
Heritage Crab Apple and Service Tree (Cormus domestica) varieties, producing fruit for cider, preserves, and the closed-loop cycle.
The Silvopasture
Intentional integration of trees, forage, and livestock on the same land — building soil, sequestering carbon, and producing nutrient-dense products.
The Cidery
Ozark heritage ciders and German-style Apfelwein crafted from estate-grown fruit. Pomace waste feeds back into the silvopasture system.
