If you’re grazing livestock on pocket-sized pastures, join us to learn strategies for managing pasture health on homesteads with limited acreage.<\/p>\n

This workshop will take place at a small homestead, where pastures are managed on a tight rotational grazing plan. MOFGA’s Livestock & Dairy Specialist, Jacki Martinez Perkins, will discuss the strategies for managing small pastures when it comes to particular livestock, whether you have a horse, poultry, or a flock of sheep. Participants will have a tour of the small pastures at this homestead, and discuss general organic small-scale pasture management strategies for homesteaders. There will be plenty of time for questions.<\/p>\n

Join us for a Gather & Grow tour at a 6-acre multigenerational homestead in Nobleboro, Maine! In this year’s Gather & Grow series, garden tour hosts will share information about their gardening practices in general, and through the lens of climate change adaptation.<\/p>\n

About the homestead:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Join Sam and Kim for a tour of their thoughtfully restored 6-acre homestead, centered on growing nutrient-dense food and building a resilient, regenerative lifestyle. After moving full-time to midcoast Maine in the spring of 2021, they took on a long-abandoned property and, over the past five years, have brought it back to life.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Today, the homestead supports a diverse range of systems. Sheep are raised for meat, dairy, and fiber, with a focus on rotational grazing to rebuild soil health and revitalize pastures. Pigs and chickens are pasture-raised, contributing to both the farm\u2019s productivity and ecological balance. Visitors will see no-till market gardens and a kitchen garden that provide an abundance of vegetables throughout the growing season. This harvest is preserved and stored in a traditional root cellar, supporting year-round nourishment. The homestead also includes fruit trees, beekeeping, and established herb gardens, all contributing to a holistic, nutrient-dense food system. Rounding out the farm\u2019s infrastructure is a recently installed grid-tied solar array, providing renewable electricity and supporting the homestead\u2019s long-term sustainability. This tour offers a grounded look at the process of restoring land, building soil, and creating a productive, multi-generational homestead from the ground up.<\/p>\n

There will be a boot wash on-site, for livestock biosecurity purposes.<\/p>\n

About the garden:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

David Patrick and his family garden together in their backyard. With raised beds that grow annual fruits, veggies, and flowers,\u00a0as well as and perennial plantings of fruit trees, fruit shrubs, and grape vines: there is a bounty growing at this urban garden. Between the different raised beds and perennial plantings, the garden features multiple systems. The gardens are supported by a variety of inputs for the soil — from their chickens’ bedding and manure, to ash from their neighbor’s woodstove, to comfrey plantings.\u00a0And among their many raised beds, each of the two kids in the family\u00a0have one that they plant and tend themselves. Learn about the different elements at play in this garden, from our hosts, David and the kids.<\/p>\n
