About Ray

Ray Archuleta provides teaching & guidance to care for Earth's most fundamental resources from a deeply personal perspective. 

Ray is a native of Espanola, New Mexico. His family of origin has 400+ year history in Northern New Mexico and the Southern Colorado Region.

 

Ray currently owns a 155-acre ranch in Seymour, MO. It's here here he "practices what he preaches" by faithfully employing the principles of regenerative farming.

Ray’s mission is to teach Regenerative Agriculture in a framework of ecological and spiritual renewal (eg, Ecotheology).

 

At its core, "regeneration" is Restoring God's Kingdom on Earth.

​

Regenerative Agriculture starts with a renewal of the human heart and mind. It’s a new way of thinking that loves, nurtures, and emulates the Creator’s intelligent design.

 

Regenerative Agriculture is a journey for life that heals relationships: God-to-Man, Man-to-Man, Man-to-the-Ecology.
