DODGEVILLE, Wis. – 1dr Acres Farm near Dodgeville, managed by Cherrie Nolden and Allen Philo, has 50 acres on the home farm along with 80 acres of additional forest. The two rotationally graze goats, horses, beef, sheep, pigs and poultry – all protected by guardian dogs that allow them to keep the animals on-pasture year-round. They use continuous perennial cover and holistic planned grazing with multiple species along with properly timed conventional fertility applications. The farm is surrounded by buffers of tall vegetation that intercept water and nutrients.
