With funds from this 2023 Farm to Ballet performance, Billings Farm & Museum will improve their sustainability & regenerative practices. This includes replanting pasture and cropland with a no till drill seeder and making substantial improvements to be able to carry out rotational grazing. The farm will invest in fencing, create lanes for cows to reduce their impact on the land, establish water access through buried lines, and install solar powered water heaters to extend the grazing season. These improvements will benefit the herd of approximately 50 milking Jerseys and the farmland for years to come.
