Profiles in Conservation: Trouvaille Farm

Trouvaille Farm, or “Lucky Find Farm,” is just that: after years of working for other farms and searching for their own land, farmers Lindsay Klaunig and Michael Barnes finally found their 80-acre farm in Athens, Ohio. The land is hilly, with highly erosive ridge tops and wet valleys that often flood. Because of this challenging topography, the farmers consciously and intentionally use a number of advanced conservation practices to steward the land on which they cultivate animals, bedding plants, and vegetable seeds.
