Our Horse-Farming Event was Featured in the Gazette!

July 23, 2018

Be sure to check out today’s (July 23rd, 2018) copy of the Daily Hampshire Gazette to see the story on our horse-farming event at Sawyer Farm last Saturday. If you can’t get your hands on a paper copy (or even if you can!), check out the online version, which features video as well!

We were so pleased with this event, which highlighted the inspiring work being done here in The Hilltowns by local farmers. We have a tradition of offering educational public events about draft animal logging, and were excited to put on this event in partnership with Sawyer Farm, which has a commitment to sustainable farming practices using draft animals. And we were thrilled the the Gazette highlighted this local farm on their front page!

A big thank you to everyone who came out on Saturday, to The Gazette, and of course to Sawyer Farm for partnering with us to offer this event! If you weren’t able to make it, stay tuned, as we hope to repeat it again soon!
