Livestock / Crops Description
Some of the fields are being prepped and planted with chestnut trees. Other fields are in various stages of succession and I would like to make them available for grazing as to help maintain the land and the soils. Preference for goats, sheep, or other light grazing animals, but would be open to discussing other livestock as there are some areas of the farm that could be used for this purpose.
