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.
