At Paca Pride Guest Ranch, we’re feeding our herd fresh micro-greens every day over the winter! We produce 50lbs of fresh barley fodder daily in a space that’s 4′D x 7′W x 6′H.
This video is a step-by-step walkthrough of our daily tasks: harvesting the fodder mats, spreading the next batch of pre-soaked barley grain seeds, and preparing the next day’s batch for soaking.
On a typical day this takes about 20 minutes.
