A huge thank-you to everyone who made the trip out to join us and see rotational sheep grazing in action! It was a great event filled with good conversation, fresh ideas, and plenty of questions about how sheep can help manage orchard vegetation while keeping the operation productive. We are especially grateful to our host, Old Orchard Farm, for opening the gates, sharing their experience, and giving us an up-close look at this innovative practice. Thanks again to everyone who attended and helped make the day such a success!
