Hidden Blossom Farm

Hidden Blossom Farm received an award to establish three acres of silvopasture, a portion of which is located on Statewide Important Agricultural Soils. The grant funded the removal of invasive shrubs, vines, and poor-quality trees, which allowed light for pasture grasses while giving native, healthy trees more room to grow. Forages were planted which cattle will eventually graze on. This silvopasture is expected to improve the farm’s climate resilience by reducing soil erosion, sequestering carbon, extending the grazing season, and providing nutritious forages during periods of drought.
