In 2020 I decided to stop raising my own sheep but there are now more animals on the farm. A new neighbor, Dirty Dog Farm, is grazing some of their beef herd here starting in the spring of 2020, and Ben and Lindsey of Hearty Roots Community Farm are now raising sheep here with me helping to train their shepherd, Zuri. The first 15 Dorset-Texel ewes just arrived at the end of September 2021. I take pride in managing my land using methods that restore soil carbon and fertility, protect water quality and biodiversity, and provide a healthy, safe and natural environment for livestock. And although I don't have my own sheep here anymore, I am very excited to be collaborating with my neighbors to continue to produce healthy food!
