UMD Extension Specialists, Agents and USDA-NRCS technicians will present during this full day of seminars on pasture and horse management with a Q & A session on how to get financial assistance for establishing best management practices to close out the day.  This event is presented in partnership with the Maryland Department of Agriculture's Horse Outreach Workgroup.  

Join University of Maryland Extension, Maryland Department of Agriculture, and the Horse Outreach Workgroup for an educational pasture walk and social hour at Willowdale Farm and Farmacy Brewing in Reisterstown, MD (Baltimore county).

Nestled in the rolling hills of Baltimore County's horse country, Willowdale Farm is a diversified operation raising horses and cattle and growing a wide range of crops including hay, row crops, fruits, and vegetables. Willowdale Farm has been run by the Harrison family since 1961 and one of the farm's primary focuses has always been breeding and raising thoroughbred horses using sustainable farm management practices. Situated within this working farm is Farmacy Brewing, a local brewery that incorporates seasonal farm products to create unique beers from a wide range of different ingredients.

Participants will have an opportunity to see and discuss several aspects of the operation, including grazing management practices for cattle and horses, pasture maintenance and overseeding, soil fertility, and incorporation of annual forages for additional grazing. Following the pasture walk, participants are welcome to stay for a social hour at Farmacy Brewing (drinks will be available for purchase for those who are 21+).
