Sustainable Horse Keeping
We pride ourselves on our Green Horse Keeping principles and strive to be a model of Best Management Practices, which we use as teaching tools in our Environmental Stewards Programs to raise awareness of the importance of land and wetland stewardship. We are fortunate that our neighbors, Green Gulch Farm, enjoy the benefits of horse manure to enhance their composting efforts and help their produce thrive.
Partners in Sustainability
We have partnered with Green Gulch Zen Center’s organic farm for the past fifteen years, renting one pasture during the wet season, and two during the dry season. Each day the manure is collected from all the paddocks and pastures and added to the compost piles in the farm to “cook” and eventually be added to the rows of vegetables as natural, organic fertilizer, a symbiotic relationship that celebrates the natural cycles of life.
