Clare Hintz on Managing Risk with Cover Crops

Everyone's talking about cover crops. In this conversation, farmer Clare Hintz of Elsewhere Farm shares how she uses cover crops for livestock forage. Take a “birds-eye” view of her farm and “see” her American Guinea hogs and how she employs them and other means to add soil fertility and control pests in her perennial fruit orchard. Clare Hintz runs Elsewhere Farm, a production permaculture farm near the south shore of Lake Superior in Herbster, Wisconsin. The solar-powered farm features perennial fruits and nuts interplanted on five acres, intensive market gardens, and rare-breed pigs and chickens. Clare also serves on the MOSES Board.
