Rubber Boots Workshop -- Fermenting Whole Grain Feeds: Better Health, No Waste
The Rubber Boots Workshops is a lineup of farmer-to-farmer educational events where both new and seasoned farmers share knowledge on topics such as how to raise and process organic meat birds, ferment whole grain feeds, ensure that local markets can support high-quality eggs, and sprout whole grains for nutritious animal foods. The goal of the workshops is to help farmers overcome operating obstacles, learn best practices, and be successful feeding their animals wholesome organic food. The workshops will be presented by farmers who are using organic whole grains and feeds in innovative ways and have developed farming efficiencies.
The September Rubber Boots Workshop will be with Farmer Matt of Foothills Farm, who is a mastermind of fermenting feeds. Join him on his farm as he shows you the no fuss, no muss way to ferment feed for your flock. Foothills Farm, nestled into the lush Skagit Valley in Sedro-Woolley, WA.

Matt is a farming jack-of-all-trades in addition to raising over 800 chickens on fermented Scratch and Peck Feed, he also breeds horses and goats, grows produce for farmers markets, CSA boxes, and the food bank.
