Sheep, Solar & Sunshine: Rethinking Farming in the Adirondacks

What happens when you put sheep on a solar farm? They eat. But that's only the beginning.

Rebekah Pierce of J&R Pierce Family Farm joins ADK Talks to explain how solar grazing helped her family overcome one of the biggest barriers facing first-generation farmers: access to land.

They talk pasture-raised livestock, regenerative agriculture, renewable energy—and what it takes to make a family farm work in the North Country today.

Part of our special Women in Agriculture series with ADK Taste for International Year of the Woman Farmer.
