SUMMARY:The Experiences of 38 years of Managed Grazing and Hopes for the Future
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Wednesday in-person or virtually at 3PM to hear from Rick Adamski of Full Circle Farm.  \n\n\n\nRick Adamski has utilized managed grazing as the foundation of his family’s 240 acre farm in Shawano County since 1987. The farm was bought by his grandparents around 1900. Rick is married to Valerie Dantoin and they have two children; Andrew and Genevieve. Dairy was the main focus of the farm from its inception until 2014 when it was converted to grass-fed beef. The farm was certified Organic in 2003 and has been since. In 2017 the farm diversified when Andrew and his partner Heather Toman returned with their masters degrees from Northern Michigan to grow fresh vegetables and some hogs and chickens. All production is sold directly to customers through direct sales. Cooperatives are also a common thread throughout the history of the farm when Grandpa Stanley started a cheese factory cooperative to the SLO Farmers Cooperative started by Valerie and managed by Heather to help themselves and others receive products directly  from our farm. \n\n\n\nRSVP encouraged\, but not required. This is session #7\, our last session of the winter series Managing Your Green: A Farm Finance Series for Graziers. \n\n\n\nJoin Zoom Meeting \n\n\n\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/7153436215?omn=86152167327 \n\n\n\nMeeting ID: 715 343 6215 \n\n\n\n— \n\n\n\nDial by your location \n\n\n\n• +1 312 626 6799 US (Chicago)
