Do you want to create a thriving system for raising healthy farm animals, while also cultivating a healthy ecosystem on your land? Done wisely, pasture based animal husbandry can be a powerful way to heal, and ecologically manage, your land.
Join us on Saturday, June 21 (5-7pm) at the Land & Table Amherst monthly potluck and skillshare on the art of rotational grazing, hosted by Brooklyn Hills Ranch, a family farm focused on holistically raising regenerative meats for the local community.
With over 20 years of experience in holistic ranch management Fred Lyssy will unpack the basics of multi-species grazing and the wisdom of not just raising animals for healthy meat, but understanding what is needed for optimal soil health and what is happening beneath the ground.
