Spend an evening in a lively conversation about growing soil, biodiversity and nutrient dense
food with grass fed animals and intensive pasture management.
The Independent Farmstead (Chelsea Green, 2016) focuses on the importance of developing
true interaction between all the resources of a small farm – from animals to humans – in order to
make the land, its residents and its production the best they can be. Simultaneously irreverent
and deeply serious, this book is a true how-to for those seeking to develop and manage a piece
of land (however big or small) through regenerative farming.
The book will be for sale at cluck! (399 Broadway, Providence) before and after the event.
Southside Community Land Trust works with NOFA/RI to offer training and technical assistance
to beginning farmers who are managing livestock or are interested in doing so. Come meet
NOFA/RI’s livestock program coordinator, Ben Coerper of Wild Harmony Farm in Exeter, and
hear about his experience with livestock farming and learn about SCLT’s educational resources
for beginning farmers. More information about SCLT’s beginning farmer training program is
available by contacting Laura Bozzi, laura@southsideclt.org
This FREE, public event is made possible, in part, by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
