The Farm
Principles
- Rotational Grazing
- Animal and seed chosen for longevity, hardiness, and genetic diversity
- Participation by the consumer concerning what we grow
- Realistic growth
- A willingness to fail and try again
- French intensive food production, raised beds, drip irrigation, maximum production through organic inputs
- Healthy soil and water equals healthy food
- Respect for the animals and the environment
- Making the practices available to everyone interested
- Responsible economics that builds community
“We can no longer expect that our food supply is safe or that its impact on the environment is sustainable.”
GirlFarm
GirlFarm is 95.16 acres with water rights. We have a mix of irrigated and dry land pasture. We grow, cut and bale our own hay. Our animals graze on our own lands. All of our animals have access to shelter.
Where are we located
GirlFarm is tucked away at the top of a watershed bordering Northern California and Northern Nevada, an easy 30 minutes drive from Reno, Nevada. Through the work of volunteers, one determined full-time farmer, and two part-time farmers - sustainable land and water management practices have been employed since August of 2008.
