Our Winter Grazing Plan Changed (Bale Grazing Explained)

We’re switching up our grazing strategy for the rest of winter now that our stockpiled pasture has been used up. I’ve been learning more about bale grazing and am excited to see how it can improve our pasture while cutting down on the time spent moving fencing in cold weather. We’ve also had several new lambs born this past week, so I’ve been checking on the babies—and so far, everyone is doing great.

About Growing Roots Farm
Our family started out on the traditional path. The hubby and I went into debt to finance college educations in order to obtain careers in the "safe" field of healthcare. It wasn't until afterwards that we realized that the supposed safety came with many strings that began to strangle us. As our family grew, the demands on our time and energy were pulled towards a healthcare system that valued money over people. We felt overwhelmed, helpless and stressed.

We wanted more. We wanted more time, more health, more family, more happiness. We were tired of giving our best energy to someone else with subpar results. We tried to change the system from within but found that we could make more of a difference on the outside. We began by starting to fix things for ourselves and our immediate family.

We moved away from traditional education and decided to homeschool. This gave us flexibility with schedule and more time together as a family. The time is precious, and we love homeschooling.

We purchased a small farm. We want to be good stewards of the land that we inhabit. We want to give back to the earth more than we take from it. We are practicing methods that encourage nutrient enhancement of the soil rather than depletion. We are improving our composting methods and rotational grazing skills.

As we started making these changes, the kids thrived and were excited to expand the project beyond even our imaginations. They are now active participants in this life adventure that we have named Growing Roots Farm.
