What is Transhumance?


The Transhumance Festival is an annual celebration dedicated to reconnecting people to the land.
​

​The festival reintroduces the age-old practice of transhumance--the tradition of moving livestock from one grazing ground to another in a seasonal cycle. 

This free public festival includes engaging demonstrations on land stewardship practices, soil and watershed health, reconsidering our waste streams, and sharing of culture.

​connecting our community to our working landscapes
​

Grazing animals play an integral part in helping us manage the health of our oak savannas, grasslands and coastal prairies.  We want to celebrate the work with a day dedicated to local artisans, education and food-shed based delicacies.
