Join us for a pasture walk at Fern River Farm, co-hosted by UVM Extension and the White River Natural Resources Conservation District. Fern River Farm is a small farmstead creamery making fresh and aged cheeses from their own cow and sheep milk. In addition to their grazing dairy herd and flock, they raise sheep and beef on pasture for meat and fiber.
Join us to learn about how the farm manages their farmstead creamery and their five grazing groups, the benefits and challenges of multi-species grazing, and about the state and federal programs that they’ve worked with to develop their infrastructure.
This event is sponsored by the UVM Center for Sustainable Agriculture, the Northeast Dairy Business Innovation Center, and the White River Natural Resources Conservation District.
Biosecurity note: Please wear clean boots and clothes to this event (i.e. not worn for your own livestock chores). We will have boot covers and sanitizer to be used before and after the event.
