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.
