When we moved our animals to the Barn Property on 31 Aug 2022 the place was burnt out hay fields being over taken by Lupines, Goldenrod, and other toxic and invasive species. Now, a little over a year and a half later, we’re seeing multi species grasses, grains, browse, and green fields coming ripe with nutrient rich hay! That’s what we do!
Actually, We don’t! Our animals do, with a little help from their friends! We put Goats in Pasture One, then move them to Pasture 2 and introduce the Pigs to Pasture one where the Goats were. Then in a week or two we move them again. Now, Goats are in Pasture 3 with Pigs in Pasture 2, and the first pasture sits empty. Then we repeat that process every week to two weeks. When the first pasture has rested it begins to change. The weeds are diminished and the grasses begin to grow. Over time, this process is repeated and the field is restored, regeneration by the animals awakens the seed bed, helps with eliminating the weeds, and system works!
We’ve also introduced other animals and poultry along the way. With Chicken Tractors and Rabbit hutches being moved across the pasture, on a different spot each day. Helping create more carbon, compost and manure for fertilizer. Spurring further growth and healthy soil.

That’s what our Animals do! Do You need them to do it for You!?
Spring is such a busy time of Year, the animals and chicks, and chores, and gardening! It’s a busy time for sure, hopefully we’ll find time for it all! If You’d like to help, and learn, let us know! Call Brian at Briden Farm 902-907-0770.
