The New Horse-Powered Farm

What is the role of draft horses on small farms of today? This workshop will focus on how to set up or transition a market garden of 1-10 acres to draft horse power. Old and new tools will be discussed, as well as growing systems, with an emphasis on the bio-extensive model developed by Anne and Eric Nordell.  Stephen Leslie co-wns and operates Cedar Mountain Farm, a draft horse-powered CSA market garden and Jersey cow dairy farm, located at Cobb Hill co-housing in Hartland,VT. Stephen has been farming for 20 years and has 18 years of experience working with draft horses.
