Geoff Kinder of Paradox Acres will share his exper

Geoff Kinder of Paradox Acres will share his experience developing a rotational grazing program to restore overworked hayland, improve soil health, and produce higher-quality feed. Geoff will discuss his strategies for building strong partnerships with landowners and how he manages a herd of 55 beef cattle over 200 acres across nine different properties to grow his grazing business. In addition to being a pasture based livestock farm, Paradox Acres is an MDAR agricultural composting facility utilizing a bedded-pack system and food waste from a local college.

As we explore Geoff's operation at the Historic Gidley Farm, will be joined by Gidley Farm owners Marjorie Waite and Neal Weiss, Gidley Farm manager Ben Waite, John Duke of NOFA-MA Soil Health, and Desiree Dubois of American Farmland Trust.

After the pasture walk, join us for a cookout kindly sponsored by Fiber Optic Center.

Free child care will be available on site. This is a free workshop, please register at the link in our bio.
