The morning will start with a farm tour of Wiseacres Farm, led by the owner, John Wise where visitors will get a chance to see the strawberries, garden, cattle, and field crops. The tour will be followed by a bag lunch networking break at noon (bring you own!).
In the afternoon John Wise will explain the in-depth the workings of his pastured poultry operation. They raise meat chickens on pasture using a moveable tarp covered shelter in conjunction with portable electrified netting. Besides the shelter system, he will discuss restricting feed in the critical first 3-4 weeks to virtually eliminate leg problems, probiotics, bedding, butchering, pricing and whatever else you want to talk about!
Wiseacres Farm is located at 1957 Centreville Road just West of the #4, North of Camden East. For an online map visit: http://wiseacres.macdade.ca/
