Join Summer Brown of Goat Island Farm and NCAT’s Gabriella Soto-Velez for a practical webinar on holistic and organic-aligned goat management for diversified farms.
This session will feature a farm-based video exploring how Summer manages goats as part of a larger market garden system, including herd health practices, sanitation, pasture and manure management, and the role of goats in supporting whole-farm fertility.
The video will also highlight how livestock can support a market garden through composting, nutrient cycling, and value-added opportunities such as goat cheese.
After the video, participants will have the opportunity to join a live Q&A with Summer to ask questions about goat care, farm integration, marketing, and practical lessons from the field.
This webinar is designed for small farmers, beginning producers, market gardeners, livestock producers, and anyone interested in integrating goats into a diversified, sustainable, or organic farm system.
This event is supported by the USDA’s Transition to Organic Partnership Program, part of the USDA Organic Transition Initiative and administered by the Agricultural Marketing Service National Organic Program.
