Join the NWNY Team for a pasture walk at Valley View Devons, the farm of Phil Race and Sharon Pierce, 2765 Mt. Morris Nunda Townline Rd, Mt. Morris, NY. They raise Devon cattle, pastured pigs and laying hens on rotationally grazed pasture and have worked closely with JoBeth Bellanca with NRCS for farm improvement cost share opportunities. The farmland was in row crops and was converted to pasture about 8 years ago. Overall soil health has greatly improved with reduced erosion on the hillsides.

There will be moderate walking around the farm and no restroom facilities will be available. Masks are required for unvaccinated attendees and 6 ft. social distancing needs to be maintained. Please wear clean boots and clothing. A boot wash will be available.

Pre-registration is required by September 7. Cost is $10 per person, $15 per farm or family. Register online at https://nwnyteam.cce.cornell.e... or contact Nancy Glazier at 585-315-7746 or nig3@cornell.edu
