Summer 2020
The Cornell Small Farms Program is pleased to announce the arrival of the Summer 2020 edition of the Small Farms Quarterly.
In this issue, we feature an introduction to solar grazing, the first installment of a series on raising beef cattle on a small farm, and reflections on a few positive effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, such as upticks in both pollinator numbers and CSA shares.
You can read articles from the Summer 2020 Quarterly online now. Or if you’d rather flip through the articles in a magazine format, take a look at our online reader to peruse this issue or feel free to download the PDF version of the Quarterly.
