Hi all -
I work with
Rogue Farm Corps, a program that helps to train aspiring farmers/ranchers through hands-on immersion on
sustainable host farms. We have some great host farms in Oregon that are producing awesome grassfed cow
milk among other things.
Terra Farma for one. I'll post in
chickens and the goat forum because we have some farms working with them as well. Here's some more info on our program:
