About This Event
Join GTRLC farm operations and sustainability coordinator, Sam Griffin, for a tour of Misty Acres Farm, a picturesque working farm that tests and demonstrates natural solutions to climate change. While walking the property, Sam will explain the sustainable agriculture practices and various forms of farm stewardship that she and Nick Eddy, Misty Acres farm manager, have implemented to improve the land’s resilience.

The farm is home to a small herd of sustainably managed Belted Galloway cattle and a herd of invasive-species eating goats. On the tour, you will learn about rotational cattle grazing, nutrient management designed to reduce greenhouse emissions, and innovative uses of farm equipment and goats for habitat restoration. All of these activities enhance soil health and increase carbon sequestration on the land.

The Basics

This tour will take about 2 hours on a mostly paved trail with occasional rough terrain on uneven surfaces. Although the trail does not pass through the woods or tall grasses, we recommend wearing long pants and closed-toe shoes. Please remember to also check for ticks at the journey's end.
