About this event

  • 2 hours

Savanna Institute's North Farm is located directly north of the Wisconsin River, and contains an almost complete watershed, making it valuable as a site for water quality research, as well as silvopasture and alley cropping approaches. With the largest acreage among the farms, the North Farm is dedicated to demonstrating large-scale commercial farming.


Please park at the yellow parking symbol. The red area is restricted, the tour begins at the green marker.
