I've got mostly hybrid chestnuts, some persimmon, some willow, some white oak that I propagated last winter/spring. They will be planted out into my pasture next month to begin establishing a sylvopasture system with sheep, chickens, and maybe cows in the future. Yes, there is 1/4" hardware cloth on the bottoms to hold the soil and allow roots to poke through. When the roots poke through they dry out and sluff off allow me to easily transplant later.

I used some scrap gutter material from one of my recent jobs to create a custom mineral feeder for my mobile sheep shelter that I pull along each time I move them.
I’ve heard varying opinions on the importance of minerals when it comes to raising sheep. I tend to believe most shepherds and books by shepherds when they talk about the importance of minerals. Selenium seems to be especially important here in the northeast as it is lacking in our soils. Minerals seem to be important for human health as well and I would bet what the animals eat end up in the meat.

First harvest from Shake the Tree at Clover Hill Farm is Strawberry flowers. It’s not much, but it’s a start.
Shake the Tree is a project that is years in the making and hopefully will continue to be for decades to come. Meghan and I have a vision to add our flavor to the growing number of folks growing strong local communities by re-engaging with our landscapes in a regenerative way.
Our mission is to create a thriving land-based business, by growing food in perennial crop systems, helping others do the same with our edible and medicinal plant nursery, producing pasture based meat using rotational grazing to mimic the natural movement of animals on the land, provide educational and therapeutic experiences for people on this beautiful land we now call home.
Clover Hill Farm is the name of farm we now tend and it is in the town of Alfred on what was once Pequawket land. Clover Hill Farm is where this will start. Who knows where it will end. I hope you come along for the ride.

I’m about to utilize this two strand setup as the 4th side of my paddocks. The other 3 sides being electronet. The only thing I’m nervous about is predators getting past it as I don’t have guard dogs and the electronet is my predator protection at the moment. My thought is if the coyotes shock themselves at least once in the lower wire that should keep them away for good.

It seems like the dorpers do have a little more meat on them than the Katahdins, especially in the legs. And people really like their leg of lamb at holiday times. I’ve also heard that they can need more medical attention, but I’ve also talked to shepherds who are really hands off with them and have bred a pretty resilient flock, by culling those that need medical attention frequently.

I volunteered and then worked part time on a farm where my now friends raise sheep chickens and now cattle. I helped slaughter chickens and got to talk shop with fellow farmers throughout the day. Took a permaculture design course read books including:
All Flesh is Grass by Gena Logsdon, The Art and Science of Grazing by Sarah Flack. Also lots of YouTube videos by people like Joel Saladin, Nature’s Always Right, Greg Judy, the Shepardess, and others. Also, in the process of finding sheep to purchase I’ve had many informative conversations with other shepherds who have helped me hone in on the style of management I want to implement. Hope that helps.

Getting my small Katahdin sheep flock settled in at the farm this spring has been really fun.

It’s definitely in the carrot family, but be careful poison hemlock is in the family too. Pull up one of the roots. If it’s smells like a carrot you’ve got a delicious treat. Is this a garden volunteer or a wild find?

My chestnut seeds are sprouting here in southern Maine and I’m planting them in air-prune beds for the year to grow them out to a size where they will be ready to transplant into the Agroforestry orchard next spring or fall. https://nostr.build/i/nostr.build_ca173d69e7fb9b4f49beaa389d7c71d2231686bd50510e37cdef8aaca01d8153.jpeg #agroforestry #permaculture #grownostr

Just joined a meat CSA and a veggie CSA in my town for the first time in a couple years. For the quality of produce you can’t beat the price of a CSA. Lot of value for your money. I love supporting local farms and businesses and meeting the farmers. You also are forced, in a good way, to work with. It’s and veggies you wouldn’t buy at the store and it tends to expand your cooking repertoire. Cons are it’s not quite as convenient as the supermarket and both only took cash$ or check so payment was a bit of a hassle. Pros outway the cons in my opinion.
