Water Management and Conservation Water Storage and Coordinated Water Management
The Bodega Goat Ranch is a team-farming operation that has integrated multiple small livestock production systems, vegetable crop farming, pasture management, and permaculture water management into its goat cheese production systems, including an innovative system for growing barley sprouts to replace imported feed. The property has multiple catchment ponds that trap overland flow and promote water infiltration into the gardens and pastures through swales. The Ranch currently does numerous tours and classes each year, allowing for the project to serve as a demonstration site.
