They make artisan farmstead sheep cheese and also grow organic herbs. Their mission is to produce nutritious, high-quality food using organic and ecological farming techniques.

In this podc<https://westernsare.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=b5a00d7c59eb45a9461336ca3&id=eb57f1769f&e=bcbcf68e8a>[potato field]<https://westernsare.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=b5a00d7c59eb45a9461336ca3&id=eb57f1769f&e=bcbcf68e8a>ast<https://westernsare.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=b5a00d7c59eb45a9461336ca3&id=eb57f1769f&e=bcbcf68e8a>, recorded prior to the impacts of COVID-19, Jessica shares important lessons that are even more critical today. She discusses the farm's relationships with a local wholesale food hub, the creation of a cheese CSA, and other efforts toward a resilient regional food system. You’ll hear how food hubs promote efficiencies for both farmer and consumer.


As she and her family continue to learn important lessons about animal health, soil health, and crop management, they are striving for self-sufficiency through a closed loop system.

Jessica also discusses her SARE-funded on-farm research and demonstration project<https://westernsare.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=b5a00d7c59eb45a9461336ca3&id=a377cd3678&e=bcbcf68e8a> looking at how sheep grazing impacts soil and potato crops.
