Event Description

We have two (essentially identical) meetings scheduled (on subsequent days) with a talk on grazing by Sarah Flack and a talk on silvopasture by Joshua Greene.  

Sarah Flack

The Grazier’s Tool Box: Improving Pasture Productivity & Quality

 The “grazier’s tool box” includes using livestock & other methods to improve pastures and avoid pasture pitfalls. 

Sarah, a consultant specializing in grass-based livestock farming systems, will bring free copies of her most recently published (co-authored) book Grass-Based Dairy Production Manual.

Joshua Greene

Agroforestry for Resilient Farms 

Learn how farms in Pennsylvania have added trees to their farms to reduce heat stress and increase resilience.

After a decade of dodging falling ash trees and grazing cattle at Greene Kitchen Farm, Joshua joined Trees For Graziers and hopes to inspire generations of graziers to create cool, resilient, productive silvopastures.
