SARE Grant Field Day: Poultry, Goats, & Pasture Health

SARE Grant Field Day: Poultry, Goats, and Pasture Health

Saturday, September 27 | 1:00 - 4:00 PM | Prairie Fruits Farm & Creamery

Free admission | Registration required

Join us for a firsthand look at an active USDA-SARE research project underway right here at Prairie Fruits Farm. In partnership with DuChick Ranch, we're testing whether integrating chickens behind our goats in rotational grazing can reduce internal parasite loads and improve pasture health, an approach with real potential for small ruminant farmers across the region.

What to expect:

🚜 Farm Tour — led by farm owner Lauren Brokish

🎤 Project Presentation — Ed Dubrick (DuChick Ranch) and Elizabeth Jones (PFFC) share the research design and initial data from both farms

🐐🐔 Pasture Visit — see the leader-follower grazing system in action

☕ Refreshments & Q&A — Orchard Classroom

Space is limited to 20 guests, so register early to save your spot.

Please note: For biosecurity, closed-toe shoes are required and protective booties will be provided for the pasture walk.
