Our team at A Greener World got together last week for a training event in Ontario. It was so exciting to have the opportunity to meet in person, learn new skills, and exchange ideas that will enhance our services. Check out our Instagram reel to see a glimpse of our training and a huge thanks to Tamarack Farms for hosting! This week, we’re sharing resources about sheep welfare along with technical and marketing support reminders for producers. As the weather starts to get a little cooler for those of us in the Northern hemisphere, we’re wishing everyone a wonderful fall season ahead.

Featured Resource: Farm Health Online, Sheep Welfare

Did you know that Farm Health Online offers tools for animal health and welfare for pasture-based farmers? This week, our spotlight is on sheep welfare, which includes everything from extensive grazing, breeding and lambing, shepherding and more.
