Join us at Callie’s Creamery, a certified organic, micro-dairy in Peterborough, NH to discuss intensive rotational grazing and grassland management.  They manage 30 acres of pasture and hay land. You will discuss rotational grazing basics (fencing, water, movement, mowing) and how to customize rotational grazing for your field and animals. Soil fertility and the use of organic amendments and biodynamic preparations to support healthy soil will also be covered. There will be plenty of time for Q&A.

Shelley & Robin Hulbert have been milking cows and managing their pastures and hayfields since 2000. They provide raw milk and yogurt to their community and make butter, cheddar, ricotta and brunost for their family. They strive to grow the majority of the fruits, vegetables, eggs and meat that they consume on their small homestead in Peterborough.

NODPA (Northeast Organic Dairy Producers Alliance) started in February 2001, at a summit meeting of organic dairy producers in the Northeast after one processor arbitrarily threatened to lower their farm gate price and farmers’ future pay price was in jeopardy. NODPA is the largest grass roots organization of organic dairy producers and has remained true to its original goal of advocating on behalf of producers, regardless of who they sold their milk to, for a sustainable pay price plus protect the integrity of the USDA Organic regulations.
