Don and I attended a Green Hills Farm Project meeting, on April 8th, which was held in the loft of a barn that sits on a Century Farm.  Our hosts, Nicholas and Melody, were seeking advice on grazing hair sheep and eventually moving into raising pastured poultry as well.  This young, foreword thinking couple is hoping to carry on the tradition of keeping the farm viable and teach their children the benefits and responsibilities of farming stewardship.

The Green Hills Farm Project is a terrific resource for advice.  Not limited to grazing, these folks can give you ideas and advice about: watering systems, solar energy systems, mineral mixes, fencing options, soil management, multi-species grazing, input reduction, permaculture, natural parasite control, A2 milk, making Kombucha tea…..  For a $30 membership, you can attend any and all meetings which include farm walks to get a visual understanding of the groups focus.  Earlier this year, we heard Jim Gerrish speak.  Thirty dollars well spent.  Come join us.  https://www.facebook.com/GreenHillsFarmProject/

As a side note….  The barn loft is set up to accommodate square dances.  How cool is that?
