Misty Acres Farm Tour

Description

Join GTRLC farm operations and sustainability coordinator, Sam Griffin, and Misty Acres Farm manager, Nick Eddy, for a tour of Misty Acres Farm! While walking the property, staff will introduce regenerative agriculture practices and various forms of farm stewardship to improve the land’s resilience. Learn about regenerative cattle grazing, nutrient management designed to reduce greenhouse emissions, and the innovative use of farm equipment and livestock for habitat restoration. All these activities aim to enhance soil health and increase carbon sequestration on the land. The Basics This tour will take about 2 hours on a mostly paved trail with occasional rough terrain on uneven surfaces. The site demonstrates multiple projects integrating agriculture with conservation goals and techniques to balance these mutually beneficial goals. Although the trail does not pass through the woods or tall grasses, we recommend wearing long pants and toe-covered shoes. Please remember to also perform a tick check at the journey's end.
