Karjoana Farm – October 16, 2015

Shupe Family Farm

The farm continues to evolve with market pressures and determining what works best for the sustainability of the land and the family. As meat producers, they raise cattle, goats, and sheep. They have also been successful in growing thornless blackberries and continue to learn how best to manage this crop.
