Rotational Grazing
Grazing, Pasture and Nutrient Management Practices
We use intensively managed, rotational grazing where cows are moved daily. Chickens are also rotationally-grazed. We use the Salatin method of frequent rotation as a way to manage grass growth, while recycling and distributing nutrients through animal manures. We avoid over-grazing.
We use diatomaceous earth for pest control and chickens are used for insect management.
