SUMMARY:Grassfed Beef and Avian Habitat Tour
DESCRIPTION:This 113-acre\, women-owned farm was certified organic by OEFFA in 1996. Their old\, slow way of making hay has fostered habitat for threatened ground nesting birds\, particularly eastern meadowlark and bobolink. Funding from the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) was used to fence cattle out of the creek\, drill a water well\, and bury water lines reaching all pastures for the rotationally grazed beef cattle. Part of Marshy Meadows’ conserved acreage will soon be for sale\, so attendees are invited to see a working farm\, vibrant wildlife habitat\, and explore land access possibilities. \nRegister for this free tour here. \nThis event is a part of the 2025 OEFFA Farm Tour and Workshop Series. Participant support is available to those who plan to attend an OEFFA farm tour and who identify as Black\, Indigenous\, or Persons of Color\, farmers in their first 10 years of production\, and farmers who are actively seeking land.
