In addition to our home-grown grass experts, Rick Kersbergen and Diane Schivera, we are pleased to be hosting Kimberley Hagen, Grazing Specialist with Vermont Cooperative Extension, and her special techniques to control non-toxic pasture weeds by training your animals to eat them! In addition, Geri Vistein, will be on hand to talk about Sustainable Farming with Carnivores.

This day-long program is sponsored by a grant from USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service and is being presented in conjunction with Aldemere Farm's Beef Basics Weekend.
