If you want to farm with
draft animals or learn affordable
farm skills to share with the world's poor, Tillers can create
opportunities for you to learn historical draft animal practices
and then integrate new, low-cost technologies.
Tillers is always researching
low-capital practices such as intensive rotational grazing and remote
solar water pumps to complement animal-powered farming systems.
Join us
in combining the best of yesterday and today with strategies that
can vitalize small farms around the world.
Come for a class, or just a visit.
