Regenerative Farming- Eat Better and Save the Planet

Regenerative Farming- Eat Better and Save the Planet

What did our planet look like before industrial farms, ever-expanding cities, and manufacturing filled so much of our world? How can we reverse the damage we have done to the atmosphere, wildlife populations, and our own health? The answers to these questions and more are found in the principles of regenerative farming.  Join Whitney Freeman to learn about the integral part livestock plays in healing our soils, bringing back wildlife to our habitats, and how all of this is tied to producing better food.

Dr. Whitney Freeman owns and runs Henny Penny Farm in Ridgefield, CT. Her farm focuses on being a center of both education and food production (raising lamb, pork, and poultry) for the local communities.  She holds a Bachelor's of Science in Biochemistry from Imperial College,
London and a PhD from the University of Cambridge Department of Pharmacology. The 18 acres of leased Town Conservation Land where she raises sheep serves as a model of one of the best environmentally focused grazing programs in the State. Her farm was awarded a CSP grant from the USDA to continue to work with livestock as part of an environmental stewardship plan focused on soil health and regenerative agriculture.
