Join us and the @chesapeakebayfoundation for a FREE virtual screening of Sacred Cow now through Friday 5/14. Just register through the "Upcoming Events" link in our bio and stream to learn why nature-raised meat is good for you, good for the planet, and good for the bay. Then join us on at 7:00 pm on Wednesday 5/12 for an online panel with Diana Rodgers, co-author of the book and producer and director of the film. The film presents a strong case for thoughtful meat-eating as a way to achieve ecological balance. There have been a lot headlines lately suggesting that eating meats is unhealthy, and environmentally among the more destructive foods you could be eating. Sacred Cow dives into the origins of these claims and provides a balanced and well-documented perspective on meat consumption and its connections with climate change issues, water quality issues, animal ethics, and nutrition and human health considerations. It offers an in depth look at the nutritional claims for and against meat, and why cattle raised well are actually good for the environment, and also addresses the ethical considerations concerning raising animals for meat. #gograssfed #grassfed #pastureraised #farmertofarmer #sacredcow 
Over the weekend, we had an event with Farmer Gale that not only gave attendees a behind-the-scenes tour of @deeprootsfarm 's 50 acres in Upper Marlboro, MD - including a new packing shed, veggie fields, greenhouse, and chickens - but also offered up a hands-on opportunity that will flourish at the farm for years to come: planting a new perennial bed. To attend one of our field days, go to the link in our bio and click on "upcoming events." Half-priced for members, so consider becoming one! #bftp #fhcasabftp #deeprootsfarm #chesapeakeregion #farmertfarmer #ageducation 
What better way to celebrate #EarthWeek than with our first in person Field Day on a beautiful farm learning and getting our hands in the soil! Earlier this week, Pam and Sarah of @gatheringsprings shared their story, business tips, field knowledge, and farm with our event attendees. We learned several techniques for managing weeds (tarps, flame weeding, hand weeding), planted onions, and got a bunch of compost down. #ageducation #bftp #fhcasa #farmertofarmer #chesapeakeregion
