DONATE TO OUR ANNUAL FUND!
|
Stonewall Farm is a unique and important asset to our region that relies on community support to remainaccessible to the public and provide services year round. We are not eligible as a non-profit for most farming grants and our revenue from programs do not support all of our operating expenses. And, like every other small dairy farm in America, we struggle financially to remain open. We rely on the generosity of supporters like you!

HOLISTIC PLANNED GRAZING
DIFFERENCES BETWEEN ROTATIONAL, INTENSIVE AND HOLISTIC PLANNED GRAZING
|
|
|
In May, Stonewall hosted farmers as close as Hancock, and as far away as Scotland, to participate in the Savory Accreditated Holistic Management Intensive providing scholarships to farmers.
|
|
IMPROVING PASTURES, BUILDING SOIL HEALTH
|
There are distinct differences between holistic planned grazing, used to manage our pastures, and continuous, rotational and intesive grazing. People often confuse them as different names for the same type of grazing. From producing more feed to ecological benefits, holistic planned grazing can improve your farm's bottom line and the environment. Holstic planned grazing incorporates more than a grazing chart, and includes financial planning, defining your goals and resources, along with a grazing plan, to ensure success. In addition to teaching farmers, Stonewall is sharing what we learn with companies such as Timberland, who are building a regenerative sourcing supply web.

"Attending the 9-day intensive Holistic Management training at Stonewall Farm was transformative. Holistic Management helps me with my decision-making progress on my farm and with my consulting business. Byron taught the class with an open and unbiased stance making me feel included and empowered. Stonewall Farm is a great venue for hosting Holistic Management because of its functional and relatable farm based environment." -

REGENERATIVE FARMING AT STONEWALL FARM
|
Stonewall Farm has been exeperimenting with various no-till methods, cover crops and bio-conservation controls sharing what we learn with the agriculture community. As a non-profit farm, we feel it is necessary to experiment with practices and share both our successes and failures with the agriculture community to contribute to the growing body of knowledge on regenerative farming practices. Thanks to all our amazing farmers and employees who work endless hours to make this work and learning possible!
You can help support our work by buying our certified organic and regeneratively grown vegetables and fruits in our farm store or make a donation to the farm today!
