Ben will lead his annual herd hike where we will walk through the farm to the cows while he edifies us in the subtle art of managing animals holistically to heal the land, water cycle, and farm ecosystems\u2014how a well managed herd can be a force of immense good.<\/p>\n
Bio<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n After 10 years of detrimental farming practices and by financial force, a radical move toward biological, Holistic management has resurrected the ranch, bringing new health to man, land and animals, plus space for the next generation. The exciting part is, the cure is FREE! The cure is Nature! Our ultra-low input mentality had us sell all forage equipment, boycott the salesman, park the tractors, and DRIVE the animals. After 25 years of bold, experimental changes, Mountain Run Farm now serves the local community by hosting on-farm meat and produce sales and events ranging from Makers Markets and music festivals to guided bird walks and school tours. The ever-increasing diversity of plants and wildlife brings FREE opportunity to future generations to carve out a living on the land. We eat pretty well, too!<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.9.7″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#CCE9E1″ background_image=”https:\/\/mountainrunjam.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/plantain-transparent.png” background_size=”contain” background_position=”center_left” background_blend=”difference” custom_padding=”||97px|||” global_module=”2886″ saved_tabs=”all”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.9.7″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.9.7″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.7″ _module_preset=”default” header_text_align=”center” header_text_color=”#CFB373″ header_3_font=”|||on|||||” header_3_text_align=”center” header_3_text_color=”#064466″ header_3_font_size=”55px”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_blog fullwidth=”off” include_categories=”42″ show_author=”off” show_date=”off” _builder_version=”4.9.7″ _module_preset=”default” header_text_align=”center” header_text_color=”#6B82A5″ header_font_size=”36px” meta_font=”Source Sans Pro|||on|||||” meta_text_align=”center” meta_text_color=”#E8B317″][\/et_pb_blog][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ fullwidth=”on” _builder_version=”4.9.7″ _module_preset=”default” background_image=”https:\/\/mountainrunjam.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/MRJ-1086.jpg”][et_pb_fullwidth_header title=”Herd Hike” subhead=”Ben Coleman \u2022 MountAIN RUN FARM” text_orientation=”center” _builder_version=”4.9.7″ _module_preset=”default” title_font=”|700||on|||||” title_text_align=”center” title_text_color=”#FFFFFF” title_font_size=”52px” subhead_font=”Source Sans Pro|900||on|||||” subhead_text_align=”center” subhead_text_color=”#CCE9E1″ subhead_font_size=”20px” background_color=”rgba(52,66,86,0.62)” background_enable_image=”off” custom_padding=”190px||176px|||” title_font_size_tablet=”” title_font_size_phone=”26px” title_font_size_last_edited=”on|desktop”][\/et_pb_fullwidth_header][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”3.22″][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ _builder_version=”3.25″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”|||” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/mountainrunjam.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/MRJ-1043.jpg” title_text=”MRJ-1043″ _builder_version=”4.9.7″ _module_preset=”default”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_button button_url=”https:\/\/www.mountainrunfarm.com” url_new_window=”on” button_text=”Learn More About MOUTAIN RUN […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":874,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","spay_email":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_is_tweetstorm":false},"categories":[42],"tags":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mountainrunjam.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/MRJ-1086.jpg?fit=1000%2C667&ssl=1","jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":false,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p8P0Ez-LM","jetpack-related-posts":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mountainrunjam.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2962"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mountainrunjam.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mountainrunjam.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mountainrunjam.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mountainrunjam.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2962"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/mountainrunjam.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2962\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3368,"href":"https:\/\/mountainrunjam.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2962\/revisions\/3368"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mountainrunjam.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/874"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mountainrunjam.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2962"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mountainrunjam.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2962"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mountainrunjam.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2962"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}More Activities<\/h1>\n
