Chaseholm Farm, Dutchess Land Conservancy, & Columbia Land Conservancy
Saturday, November 2, 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM at Chaseholm Farm Creamery
Learn about the benefits of a grass-fed dairy herd.
The practice of grazing a dairy herd on grass offers benefits to both the final milk product, in terms of nutrition, and to the environment, in terms of water filtration, carbon sequestration, and enhanced biodiversity. Sarah Chase, the co-owner and herd manager of Chaseholm Farm, has been practicing grass-fed dairy management for the past decade and was instrumental in transitioning the farm from a conventional to a grass-fed herd. Whether you are a dairy farmer, interested in knowing more about dairy farming, or just curious about where your milk, cheese, and yogurt comes from, this is a fantastic opportunity to learn from Sarah’s successes and challenges, and to gain a new understanding of what makes a grass-fed dairy healthier and more sustainable.
