Join us for an afternoon with friend of the farm Meriwether Lewis Hardie (Meriwether Hardie), a writer, land steward, and strategist working at the intersection of agriculture, conservation, and rural communities. Meriwether will share stories from the five-plus-month horseback journey she completed across the American West in 2025, during which she spoke with farmers, ranchers, landowners, land stewards, and members of Indigenous communities about growing food, water rights, land management, and the region’s changing future. The expedition is helping inform a book she is currently writing about land use, water, belonging, and rural change in the West.

Our laying hens are following closely behind our Belted Galloway herd as the cows rotate through the pastures. The cows graze first, leaving behind manure pats that soon attract insects. The hens then scratch and peck through the manure in search of fly larvae and forage for grasshoppers and other insects. In the process, they break apart and spread the cow manure, helping distribute its nutrients more evenly across the field. Their own manure, rich in nitrogen and other nutrients, adds another layer of fertility. It’s a mutually beneficial grazing cycle: the cows create a rich foraging environment for the hens, and the hens help spread manure, return nitrogen to the soil, and eat fly larvae— supporting healthier pasture for the herd’s next rotation.
