Healthy Soil at Pennsylvania's Rowantree Farm Nourishes Land, Animals and People

Rowantree Farm sits on 104 acres in Cumberland County, Pennsylvania. Running the farm mostly by herself, farm owner Rowan Miller has restored previously depleted soil by using rotational grazing, cover crop, and no-till practices. Healthy soil nourishes the land, animals, and ultimately, people through the food Rowan's farm provides.
Rowan participated in an American Farmland Trust Women for the Land Cohort, funded by a Conservation Innovation Grant from Pennsylvania Natural Resources Conservation Service and a Northeast Sustainable Agriculture and Education program grant. The cohort, a group of nine women farmers all located in the Susquehanna watershed, came together in person and virtually over the course of nine months to focus on advancing soil health as part of whole-farm systems.
