Join Roni Smith of The Smithshyre as she leads an open discussion on raising and caring for small ruminants. She will share their farms journey, and the evolution to introducing agritourism on their farm in the form of goat yoga.

When: May 12th, 10am to 12pm
Where: Online Event - Registration Required
Tickets: This is a FREE event, but you must register to attend!
More info on our host:
Roni is a local food advocate, farmer and RN. She grew up in North Dakota spending summers on her grandparents cattle farm. Her and her husband Erin started growing their own food about 8 years ago with a focus on sustainable and organic living. They raise fruit, produce, chickens, turkeys, sheep and dairy goats. Recently, they have ventured into the area of "agritourism" by launching a "goat yoga" program.
In a world of chemical focused animal care, finding a path of natural and organic care is a challenge, "but totally worth it". The group will discuss the topic of both goats and sheep, kidding/lambing, worming, feed and shelter and anything else participants are wondering about. Come prepared with your questions and Roni will share her insight and resources to help you find the path that is right for you and your herd.

Events are held in a supportive yet informal atmosphere, that allows participants to share, exchange perspectives, and learn from each other without pressure.
