About the Speaker
Monte Bottens
Monte and his wife, Robyn, are the 5th generation of the Manthe family to steward their 2,000-acre farm in Henry County, Illinois. Over time, the farm has returned to a focus on stewarding the land by implementing no-till methods, cover crops, and livestock grazing. In early 2018, Monte and Robyn started Grateful Graze to take their grass-fed proteins direct to consumer. The farm now raises cattle, pigs, and poultry on 150 acres of diverse pasture, working to restore the land through regenerative agriculture.
