The Farm is Here
THE FARM IS HERE
by Jeff Tkach, CEO of Rodale Institute
Lessons and wisdom cultivated at the world’s leading organic farm.
About the Book

When Jeff Tkach was 37, he got sick and thought he might not survive.
Doctor after doctor failed to offer a path forward—until one told him something unexpected:
“You can farm your body back to health.”
That single sentence set Jeff on a journey that transformed everything he believed about healing, food, agriculture, and our connection to the earth. It led him to Rodale Institute, the global leader in regenerative organic farming, where he now serves as CEO, working every day to advance healthier soil, healthier food, and a healthier future.
The Farm is Here is the story of that discovery and the movement it opened up — a movement proving that what happens in the soil happens in us.
It’s a call to consciousness, an invitation to regeneration, and a reminder that healing is possible at every scale.
Because the farm is here — in our bodies, in our communities, and in the choices we make every day.
