Christians Who Founded First Certified Regenerative Farm in U.S. (w/ Blake and Stephanie Alexandre)
On this episode, Darren sits down with Blake and Stephanie Alexandre (founders of the first certified regenerative farm in the U.S.) to discuss their entrepreneurial journey and Christian business leaders’ God-given responsibility to care for the environment.
Blake and Stephanie Alexandre, fourth-generation dairy farmers and founders of Alexandre Family Farm, share how faith redirected their work after moving to a remote California ranch they believed God called them to steward. Starting with limited resources and facing trials like rising debt and a massive 2001 fire, they learned to trust God for provision while pursuing organic and regenerative practices long before they were common. Through prayer, obedience, and a commitment to caring for land, animals, and people, they built the first certified regenerative dairy in the United States, producing A2/A2 organic milk now sold nationwide. Their farm has become a ministry that shapes employees through character, integrity, and Scripture, proving that business can be both purpose driven and spiritually formative. Rooted in biblical stewardship, the Alexandres demonstrate that when work is surrendered to God, it becomes a means of restoration and a witness to His faithfulness.
Key Takeaways 💡
- Faith at Work – Calling Over Comfort
Blake and Stephanie Alexandre felt led by God to buy a struggling ranch in a poor county, trusting His direction even when family questioned the decision. Their early struggles pushed them into deeper dependence on God as they learned to steward land, animals, and people with purpose. - From Conventional to Regenerative – Obedience Shaped Their Path
Through prayer and a desire to honor God in their work, the Alexandres shifted into organic and regenerative farming long before it was common. That step of faith eventually led to the first certified regenerative dairy in the U.S., showing how God’s strategy often outperforms conventional wisdom. - Building God’s Kingdom Through Business – Discipleship in Daily Work
The Alexandres treat their farm as ministry by praying with employees, modeling integrity, and openly sharing their faith. Their leadership shapes culture, influences lives, and turns everyday work into a platform for discipleship and witness.
