For Beginning and Experienced Women Farmers
In Her Boots: Success Strategies from the Soil Sisters
Date: Friday, August 2nd
Time: 10 AM - 3 PM
Location: Riemer Family Farm, W2252 Riemer Rd, Brodhead, WI
Are you a woman ready to explore taking the first steps toward your dream of starting a farm? Do you have lots of ideas but need advice on where to start?
Come for an inspiring day of advice, ideas and seasoned perspectives from the Wisconsin Soil Sisters, an innovative network of local women championing organic and sustainable agriculture in their community.
This special In Her Boots session will have a particular focus on women ranchers running meat operations including a detailed, behind-the-scenes farm tour at Riemer Family Farm.
Pasture management and grazing principles will be covered along with raising beef, turkeys, chickens and lambs. In addition to the animals Riemer Family Farm raises, we'll have meat-raising resources on hand to answer questions on sheep, goats and chickens.
For Families, Kids and Adults
Soil Sisters Green Acres Workshop: Rancher for a Day
Date: Saturday, August 3rd
Time: 10 AM - 3 PM
Location: Riemer Family Farm, W2252 Riemer Rd, Brodhead, WI
Adult Session:
Join Jen & Bryce to move cattle, shepherd sheep, move chicken houses across the pasture, meet Livestock Guard Dogs, collect eggs, pet kittens, and care for baby turkeys. See what it takes to raise a diverse community of animals using regenerative practices.
This workshop includes a local and responsibly raised lunch. Children (13 and over) may accompany a ticketed adult with their own ticket (for the teen). Register younger kids under the kid session, listed below.
Kid Session:
Spend the day with the Riemer girls (15, 12 & 7) learning what growing up on a ranch is like. Interact with the sheep, cattle, chickens, turkeys, dogs, and cats.
Kids can help feed and water the animals and explore the pastures. See if you can identify the birds, butterflies and wildlife attracted to our pollinator friendly pastures. Spend time playing games and asking questions about life on the ranch.
This workshop includes a local and responsibly raised lunch and runs at the same time as "Rancher for a Day". This session is for kids ages 6 through 16.
