Big Spring Farm

26th annual Pasture Walk

683 Blankenship rd, Adolphus KY 42101

Thursday, October 16, 2025, 10 am to 4 pm CDT

Once again, we’ll gather some of the brightest and most innovative farmers for an interactive field discussion on improving soil, grass, livestock, and our lives through Regenerative farming practices. 

Please RSVP to ensure we have lunch ready for you.  Brayden Apple (River Cottage Farm) will prepare a Big Spring Farm lunch featuring our beef and lamb.

We’ll talk about how we’re rejuvenating and renovating pastures and improving the genetics of the herds and flocks.
