About Us
Building on
Management Intensive Grazing (MIG) techniques studied and
developed under the leadership of Dr. Bill Murphy, now retired from
UVM's Plant & Soil Science
Department, the Vermont Pasture Network (VPN) seeks to share tips,
techniques and information about grazing all types of livestock
successfully.
Vermont Pasture Network is a collaborative effort involving multiple organizations. The UVM Center for Sustainable Agriculture's Pasture Program provides staffing for the collective effort, Vermont Grass Farmer's Association provides direction and vision, and USDA-NRCS provides funding as well as measuring our success.
Today, Pasture Program Coordinator Rachel Gilker and Outreach Coordinator Jennifer Colby continue to work closely with historic partners and new ones to improve and expand the success of grass-based livestock farms throughout VT and the northeast.
