Sheep Farm Evolution

November 16, 2020

Sheep Farm Evolution

Tours are kind of tough in the age of CoVid and winter is coming on...so I propose we do some shepherds' zooms and hear about other farms and ideas they have. I am thinking once a month would be interesting and easy with no commuting in the snow!

Ashley McFarland, Area Specialist with the Central NY Dairy, Livestock & Field Crops Team, will tell us about growing up on a sheep farm and how that shaped her current farming enterprise. Over the years, most of us adapt and evolve our style of farming to fit our lifestyle, other jobs, other family members and our beliefs. What can we learn from listening to other people's stories? Do you have someone you would like to hear from?

Register Here to join us for a webinar with Ashley. It's Free!

Upcoming Events

NY Small Farms Summit 2025: Stronger Together

December 5, 2025
Alfred, NY

We hope you will join us on December 5th for the 2025 New York Small Farms Summit! This is an opportunity to meet other farmers and ag supporters, learn about research and education projects, and set priorities for future efforts to grow small farm success.

At the Allegany County site, we will focus on giving trees a chance and how trees build resiliency on small farms. Whether attracted to fruit, nuts, vegetables, fodder or shade, trees can be an integral part of a successful farming system. Join us as we explore the opportunities for resiliency that come from adding tree crops or managing wooded areas of your farm for agroforestry or silvopasture systems.
