Coelho Verde
Missouri,
United States
 We're dedicated to learning how to live Green. To have a benevolent impact on the environment. We wish to restore this 175 year old homestead to it's original splendor and to improve the land and pastures in a natural way. We have populated the farm with primitive purebred livestock, (Icelandic Sheep and Scottish Highland cattle), and are allowing them to help us improve the pastures. Using a rotational grazing system, we will attain a naturally organic parasite free flock/herd.
