Planet
Dalla Terra Ranch practices sustainable agriculture, with organic pastures feeding a flock of free-range Katahdin sheep. Conservation efforts include removal of invasive species and restoration of native ecology. A study of Bear Creek, which runs through the property, was conducted by Barker Lemar in 2018 and confirmed that our conservation practices remove up to 25% of nitrates from the water at certain times of the year. Solar photovoltaic (PV) pumps and wind powered source well water virtually eliminate the need for traditional municipal utilities.
