Basics
Carbon Farm Plan: Three Springs Community Farm LandSmart® Ranch Plan
Planning/Design
This land was purchased in 2016. Since then, the new owners have established milk and animal production. The owners want to create an educational farm that supports the community and restores the land. A LandSmart Range plan was created to help achieve these goals. Concerns include water scarcity and fire risk. Planned conservation activities include water budgeting; brush management for forage quality and fuels reduction; and prescribed grazing.

Project Themes
Project Themes
This plan will implement a suite of carbon-beneficial practices that remove greenhouse gases from the atmosphere and into the farm's soils and plant biomass.
This project will improve the quality of its watershed through conservation of water and better filtering of pollutants from the watershed.
Three Springs Farm aims to be a biodynamic, educational, cooperatively run farm that helps heal the relationship between earth, people and animals. This plan helps support their operations and sustainability.
