Why our Organic Farm is going to an Indoor Fodder System

Fodder? What is that? By definition, it is food given to livestock. Pretty simple. So why is it the new buzz word? Turns out Fodder systems have been around for quite a long time. Think about this... how would you feed your livestock fresh grass... all year long.... in a desert??? Wow. That is really something to think about isn't it?

The Fodder system we are setting up at the Gilmore Organic Farm is going to be modern, but its most primitive sense. Yes the equipment we use is top of the line and modern, but the system still dates back centuries! At Naturoganics, we are going to feed ALL of our animals, fresh green grass, every day, all winter long. Our Fodder system will produce 119 acres of grass, per week!

Once we get it set up and running, we will create you a short how it is done video. Until then, check out this website. They have a Fodders system, and this article shows how difficult it is to keep going. Feeding animals good healthy food is hard work. When you eat Naturoganics groceries, you can be sure the best care was taken at all times.
