flock walk

Matt & Rachel Palma
Matt and Rachel Palma of Restoration Acres Farm are celebrating their farm’s 10th anniversary this Fall and are excited to share a little about their farming journey at this year’s Mountain Run Jam. They will lead us on a “flock walk” to visit their flock of 150+ sheep who live and graze right here at Mountain Run Farm. Come learn about the numerous benefits the sheep have on the land and our health, and how Matt and Rachel have scaled their sheep, pig, and chicken enterprises into a full time farming career through direct marketing and farming on leased land.
We hope you can join in on the walk through the beautiful Mountain Run Farm and learn more about these young farmers and their heart for what they do!
