Solar Grazing Workshop
Solar grazing as a climate-smart farming practice, at Meach Cove Farms
Date & Time: Wednesday July 24, 2024; 2-5 pm
Location:
Meach Cove Farms
109 Colonel Fletcher Road Shelburne, VT 05482
Description: Join us at Meach Cove Farms for a climate smart workshop on grazing sheep around solar panels and along field boundaries and forest edges. This workshop covers the fundamentals of a rotational grazing plan and the benefits to soil health, forage quality, and climate mitigation from grazing sheep.
Visit a solar site and other farm areas where sheep are controlling vegetation including invasives. This innovative approach to grazing integrates renewable energy production and other farm goals with responsible livestock management.
