Many Rocks Farm frequently hosts groups that come to the farm to learn about Kikos and our sustainable agriculture and rotational grazing practices. We have welcomed University of Maryland sponsored visitors from as far away as Turkey and Kazakhstan.

Many Rocks Farm was invited to participate in a workshop designed to look at the role of University of Maryland Extension in rural economic development initiatives. Jeanne made a presentation about her experiences as a new 'agripeneur' engaging in designing and launching private-label farm products. Regulatory and capitol investment/infrastruture issues were discussed. A group of regional and state-level Cooperative Extension personnel visited Many Rocks Farm to review the goat farming operation and to see the farm products being produced by the farm. Many Rocks Farm provided taste samples of goat Chorizo-style sausage and discussed plans for future product development.

Many Rocks Farm participated in an Agro-Depot farmers market sponsored by the Discovery Communications corporation. Company employees were treated to an array of fresh farm product samples and were given the opportunity to meet the farmers and purchase farm products directly. Quite a few people tasted goat meat for the first time. Many Rocks Farm soap products were also well-received. At the end of the day, the company gave farmers a tour of the Discovery Channel(s) broadcast studios-----and, YES, some people really do get paid to watch TV!!!

The discussion was lively and all participants went home with a full stomach of goat chili. Lancaster Farming covered the event. Click HERE to read the article about our farm.
