Workshop Description

Minimize the need for expensive grains and commercial feeds with questionable ingredients. A single grass-fed dairy cow, combined with four-season gardening, can provide nourishment for all the animals on the farm. Shawn and Beth Dougherty share 20 years' of experience with the ongoing search for the lost principles of traditional farming.

Speaker Bio

Shawn and Beth Dougherty are artisan farmers with more than 20 years of experience in chemical-free gardening and animal husbandry. They run a diversified operation that includes rotationally grazed dairy and beef animals, pigs, pastured meat and laying chickens, and year-round gardening. They harvest their own organic hay for winter fodder for the cattle, raise most of what they eat and most of what their animals eat, and attempt to farm in a way that is ecologically and economically sound.
