Draft Animal Series
Participants work with draft animals on The Berry Center’s farm and woodlands to gain fresh perspective on the history, care, and practical uses of mules and oxen on farms today.
If the use of draft animals implies diversity, homegrown energy and fertility, appropriateness of scale, and a significant measure of built-in economic health on the farm, it also implies economic diversity and health in the local community.
