What Ewes and YOU can do! Regenerative Farm Tours at Green Mountain Girls Farm | Open Farm Week 2024

Abundant. Bucolic. Compelling. What would reviewers write if the tour you take – appreciating lush gardens, laden orchards and moving livestock to fresh pasture, were a movie instead? Come plug into the Green Mountain Girls Farm ecosystem! Linger with the lambs. Simply be and belong. Or probe the pasture with a penetrometer and take the temperature of the compost pile, advancing last winter’s livestock waste towards future fertility for the fields. Explore how decompacted soils rapidly cycle carbon and nutrients to contribute to clean fresh water, increase pollinator habitat and reverse climate change. Pick wild flowers or an edible bouquet to bring home! You may have a hunch or firmly believe that how farmers farm and eaters eat matters – for climate change, biodiversity, human health, pollinators, rural vitality. This tour will fortify you and enhance your readiness to both eat well and help heal our planet.

Regenerative practices aim to grow food in ways that capture the greatest potential of the sun, rain and natural systems, while enhancing food quality, plant health, soil life and ecosystems.

They also host tours; farm experiences and stays as well as farm-to-table meals. Customers and guests choose Green Mountain Girls Farm because they want their food and tourism choices to support social and ecological health. They satiate their senses, satisfy their quest for connection, and deepen their appreciation of Vermont and small family farms everywhere.
