Welcome to GrassWorks! Welcome to the grazing community, in which a long line of forward-thinking farmers and supporters have worked for more than twenty years to bring balance to agriculture in the U.S. by implementing grass-based farming practices.
Since the 1980’s,
many smart, dedicated people have recognized that profitable, healthy
farms could be created with sustainable tools like Managed Grazing. Managed grazing is a farming method that actually builds soil, keeps nutrients in place, restores clean water and provides a little habitat to share with other critters in the neighborhood. Livestock harvest the crop and spread their own nutrients back on the land, reducing the need for chemical fertilizers and fossil fuels. Animals are healthy and produce meat, milk, and eggs with superior taste and nutrition. Grazing farms provide a good living for family farmers while making rural communities stronger.
If you are a farmer, you will find a wealth of grazing information and resources on this website. Be sure to check out the new “Grazing Marketplace,” where member farmers can promote your farms and grass-fed products, post free classifieds advertisements and find grazing suppliers. Sustainable consumers will find delicious, nutritious grass-fed meat, milk and eggs and learn more about the Environmental Benefits of managed grazing.
It’s easy to show your support for sustainable agriculture! Join us by reading and signing on to the “Principle of Managed Grazing.” There’s no financial obligation. If you would like to become a member or more info about the organization, you can download the full GrassWorks Member Brochure or the one-page Membership Application.
We look forward to working with you toward a better agriculture and a better tomorrow.
Sustainably, Valerie Dantoin Adamski
