Welcome to Jumping Jersey Meats, the lunch stop on Bike the Barns 2018! Amy and Marques Koenig pasture cows for both milk and meat on their picturesque rolling pastures. They go above and beyond in attaining a more sustainable dairy farm, using cover crops, rotational grazing, organic practices, and more.
Check out our interview with Amy to get a sneak peak of the operation. Pro tip: make sure you find her on September 16th, because she is a wealth of information. You won't want to miss the opportunity to chat with such a passionate farmer in person!
