Join GrassWorks for a day filled with food, music, and community!
This year’s GrassWorks Annual Picnic will be at Drew Carlson’s beautiful Farmstead. Drew started managed grazing 4 years ago and his soils are getting better every year. Learn from Drew’s journey and walk his pastures to hear about the farmstead’s history and the unique challenges he faces, including revitalizing sandy, degraded soils. Experts in grazing for grassland bird habitat and silvopasture will join us to share their expertise. We look forward to seeing you there.
