You have to care a lot….

….to brave a cold February evening to talk about pastures.  Cliff Miller of nearby Mt. Vernon farm in Sperryville was host to a group of grass fed farmers to discuss the finer points of raising all-natural beef.  Cliff does a better job than most of us in documenting the results he’s achieved and he’s getting excellent results.

Mt. Vernon raises not only beef but chickens, pigs and sheep on one of the oldest farms in Rappahannock county.  The group of holitistic farmers meets regularly to compare notes and offer encouragement in this still experimental method of farmers.
