Ecological Health Through Pasture Management

Join Cory Van Groningen from VG Meats for a tour of his pastures and discussion of pasture health and management. Cory will share insights into his management techniques, including rotational grazing. He will also discuss how healthy, well-managed pastures are an integral component of an ecological farm, and how he assesses the health of his whole farm ecosystem using Ecological Outcome Verification (EOV). While this field day will focus on pastured beef and poultry, participants will leave with practical information to apply to their own farm contexts, no matter what species you’re putting on pasture.

Please feel free to bring a bagged lunch and socialize after the tour.

***Due to biosecurity measures, participants are asked to please wear clean footwear to this event (ie not your muddy farm boots!)
