Rotational grazing
At Woods Trillium Acres, we practice rotational grazing. This means we have five paddocks, each about one acre. We turn the horses out in a paddock first, then the sheep follow the horses, and the chicken follow the sheep.
Sheep and horses eat different grasses, to keep the grass well mowed, the chickens come in behind the grazing animals to break up manure, eat worms, and re-fertilize the fields.
This rotation is healthier for the animals and the soil, its a win/win, sustainable grazing method
Silvopasture
In an effort to increase sustainability for both the animals and the land, we are about to start experimenting with silvopasture.
What is silvopasture? Silvopasture is the practice of grazing your forested land. We will conduct two experiments related to this practice. The first will be to clear a forested area with the help of pigs, to then seed, and eventually graze that forested area. The second experiment will be to take an unused open area and plant it in trees to eventually graze that area.
We will keep you updated on these experiments through a blog that will be added to this site. Stay tuned.
