Join Future Harvest, the Million Acre Challenge, and University of Maryland Extension for a twilight pasture tour of Plow and Stars Farm. Participants will see and discuss several aspects of the operation, including: multi-species grazing, virtual fencing, transitioning conventional grain fields to regenerative agriculture, and silvopasture.

Multi-species grazing involves the use of two or more livestock species, such as cattle, sheep, and goats, to graze pastures. This approach takes advantage of their complementary grazing behaviors to improve pasture utilization and forage diversity. The session will highlight key soil health benefits, including improved nutrient cycling from diverse manure sources, enhanced soil structure, and increased soil organic matter. Silvopasture is the deliberate integration of trees and grazing livestock operations on the same land. The workshop will also feature a demonstration of the Maryland Soil Health Card to assess physical and biological indicators of soil health, and monitor the outcomes of soil management practices
