SUMMARY:Farm Tour: Highland Spring Farm
DESCRIPTION:Take a tour of Highland Spring Farm\n\n\n\nClean Lakes Alliance is heading outside the city to visit one of our agricultural neighbors. In the return of our popular Farm Tour\, we’ll visit Kevin Oppermann’s family farm where he implements rotational-grazing techniques\, converting cropland to permanent pasture in an effort to sustainably raise his Scottish Highland cattle. \n\n\n\nClean Lakes Alliance Farm Tours demonstrate effective conservation practices that\, when implemented\, help to protect soil and water quality across Dane County. Attendees will gain a better understanding of effective land management practices. \n\n\n\nThank you Dane County Environmental Council Community Partners Program for making this event possible! \n\n\n\nAbout Highland Spring Farm\n\n\n\nHighland Spring Farm is a pasture-based farm\, located in Oregon. The farm was founded in 2012 and raises grass-fed Scottish Highland beef cattle along with a few other livestock. Located southwest of Lake Waubesa\, the farm is adjacent to the Waubesa Wetlands State Natural Area\, an area owned by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources and The Nature Conservancy.  \nHighland Spring Farm is owned and operated by family farmer\, Kevin and Keely Oppermann and their boys Liam (age 4) and Odin (age 2). After spending several years works in the software industry\, Kevin returned to his farming roots by purchasing two cows and two calves for his family and friends. \nWhat started as a “hobby” quickly changed when Kevin continued to expand his herd to meet demands for beef. Now\, Highland Spring Farm rotationally grazes approximately 125 cattle\, supplies local Madison restaurants\, and provides goods at multiple local farmers’ markets. \n\n\n\nEvent Details\n\n\n\nArrive at 9 a.m. for a meet-and-greet. The program will begin at 9:30 a.m.\, followed by a pasture tour at Highland Spring Farm.
