The farm owners will share their experiences with predator protection for pastured poultry\, building low-cost mobile coops and maximizing a diverse homestead footprint. This stop is highly recommended for backyard producers\, market gardeners and homesteaders looking to integrate livestock into their existing plots. \nThe Maine Pasture Walk Series is free and open to all\, including both beginner and experienced farmers.
