SUMMARY:Management Intensive Grazing at Cricket Creek Dairy
DESCRIPTION:Join NOFA MASS on a virtual tour of Cricket Creek Farm. \nis a small grass-based cow dairy producing a variety of products including raw-milk\, grass-fed meat and seven varieties of artisanal farmstead cheeses.  They use high density groups of cows rotated through temporary paddocks within their pastures\, allowing for the most efficient use of available forage and maximizing the benefit to livestock and soil. \nTopher Sabot\, Owner and Manager\, will discuss and answer questions about: \n\nHow they use a combination of high-tech and low-tech fencing to to manage the cows\, looking to maximize efficiency\nGrazing density and practices that provide superior nourishment for the animals while building nutrient rich and microbially diverse soil.\nTheir dairy facilities and barns\nThe fine points of producing dairy on a primarily grass-fed system.\n\nLocated in the beautiful Berkshire foothills of Western Massachusetts\, Cricket Creek Farm milks between 30-40 grass-fed cows throughout the year. Their mixed herd (primarily Jersey and Brown Swiss) is rotationally grazed on 200 acres of pasture during the summer\, and fed primarily farm produced hay and baleage in the winter. They also raise a few grass-fed beef cattle and whey-fed pigs. Their mission is to produce nourishing food that honors the animals\, respects the land\, feeds the community\, and exemplifies a sustainable model for small-farm viability. \n

DESCRIPTION:Join NOFA MASS on a virtual tour of Cricket Creek Farm. \nis a small grass-based cow dairy producing a variety of products including raw-milk\, grass-fed meat and seven varieties of artisanal farmstead cheeses.  They use high density groups of cows rotated through temporary paddocks within their pastures\, allowing for the most efficient use of available forage and maximizing the benefit to livestock and soil. \nTopher Sabot\, Owner and Manager\, will discuss and answer questions about: \n\nHow they use a combination of high-tech and low-tech fencing to to manage the cows\, looking to maximize efficiency\nGrazing density and practices that provide superior nourishment for the animals while building nutrient rich and microbially diverse soil.\nTheir dairy facilities and barns\nThe fine points of producing dairy on a primarily grass-fed system.\n\nLocated in the beautiful Berkshire foothills of Western Massachusetts\, Cricket Creek Farm milks between 30-40 grass-fed cows throughout the year. Their mixed herd (primarily Jersey and Brown Swiss) is rotationally grazed on 200 acres of pasture during the summer\, and fed primarily farm produced hay and baleage in the winter. They also raise a few grass-fed beef cattle and whey-fed pigs. Their mission is to produce nourishing food that honors the animals\, respects the land\, feeds the community\, and exemplifies a sustainable model for small-farm viability. \n

SUMMARY:Rotational Grazing at Sky View Farm: Meat CSA and Small-Scale Dairy
DESCRIPTION:Are you looking to improve your pasture management and learn more about rotational grazing?  Join NOFA/Mass and Sky View Farm for this online event and discussion of how rotational grazing provides their livestock with healthy forage while minimizing inputs and improving soil health. Rotational grazing is a system that mimics the ecology of natural grasslands. By rotating densely stocked herds through fenced-off portions of your pastures\, your cattle will eat a variety of forage\, gain more weight faster\, and sequester considerable amounts of carbon in the soil. During this event attendees learn about: \n\nPasture reclamation\nFencing systems\nStocking density and grazing plans\nCreating a small-scale dairy in the basement of their house\n\nSky View Farm comprises 50 acres of hilly fields and forest in the town of Sheffield\, Massachusetts. The land has been in the Conklin family for more than 100 years. Owners Will and Amelia Conklin have been working since 2012 to reclaim pastures that were part of the Conklin family dairy farm that closed in 1986. They raise poultry\, cows\, and pigs year-round in order to provide meat for their CSA program and local restaurants. Milking 1-3 cows\, they opened a small dairy in the spring of 2019\, bottling raw milk for direct sale to customers. Sky View Farm is also home to a small-scale sawmill operation that provides local building materials for carpentry projects\, garden beds\, fencing\, and furniture.

SUMMARY:Pasture Management and Silvopasture at Square Roots Farm
DESCRIPTION:Join NOFA/Mass and Michael Gallagher of Square Roots Farm to explore his intensively managed livestock systems. By rotating dense herds through temporary paddocks within a pasture\, livestock will eat a variety of forage\, are more robust\, and can sequester considerable amounts of carbon in the soil. \nSquare Roots Farm comprises about 185 acres of hilly fields and forest in Lanesborough\, Massachusetts. They raise 1000 laying hens\, 4000 meat birds\, 30 cattle \, 12-24 pigs\, turkeys and a diversity of vegetables for their CSA customers and market. \nMichael will answer questions about his farm and we will: \n\nLearn about the fencing and shelters they use to keep their flocks and herds moving over the landscape\nLearn about grazing density and practices that provide superior nourishment for their animals while building nutrient rich and microbially diverse soil.\nHear Connor Stedman explain the principles and practices of further developing pastures into silvopasture systems through functional tree planting here in New England.\nUse Square Roots Farm to provide context in a discussion about specific practices and tree species that can add additional value to a diversified grazing system.

SUMMARY:Grow Food Everywhere: No-Till Gardening & Farming with Cardboard\, Tarps & Cover Crops
DESCRIPTION:If you have always wanted to start a garden but don’t want to do a lot of backbreaking sod-busting or rototilling\, come learn a better way! NOFA MASS brings us this exciting webinar\, with host Ricky Baruch\, the originator of the ‘Cardboard Method’. Join Ricky to learn about how to use three simple tools—cardboard\, tarps and cover crops—to open up a new garden and maintain it without fossil fuels and pickaxes. \nRicky perfected his method of no-till small farming using cardboard at Seeds of Solidarity Farm in Orange\, Mass\, a forested hilly area with thin\, rocky and acidic soil. By covering the soil with waste cardboard\, compost and mulch\, he invited worms to come and multiply in the safe\, moist darkness\, blend the compost and subsoil\, and create rich earth perfect for growing crops. \n“The Cardboard Method is the first of three techniques that comprise our no-till toolbox that has evolved over two decades—by necessity\, and with many lessons from nature… these methods build organic matter\, promote beneficial soil microbes and mycorrhizal fungi\, reduce weeds\, conserve water and labor\, and respond to climate change by helping to keep carbon in the earth. With these techniques\, I am now able to manage several acres of intensively planted crops largely on my own.” [Excerpt from Making Love While Farming: Field Guide to a Life of Passion & Purpose by Ricky Baruch and Deb Habib] \nAfter opening a new garden with cardboard\, tarps and cover crops are used to keep the soil covered\, healthy and weed-free. The future depends on our ability to “Grow Food Everywhere\,” (the Seeds of Solidarity motto) not just in prime agricultural areas. These methods will help new and experienced gardeners alike create beautiful healthy soil with less work\, even with naturally challenging soils.
