Good Shepherd Solar Grazing


Leading the charge in Connecticut Agrivoltaics with Solar Sheep Grazing and Beekeeping

Solar Site Vegetation Management 

We provide complete vegetation management
services for Solar Site Operations Managers and Developers in CT through the safe employment of grazing sheep.

The Future of Agriculture

We partner with solar producers, site managers, and land owners to bring agricultural production back to "prime farmland" and facilitating dual use production.

Clean Local Energy + Clean Local Food

Agrivoltaics is the Climate Smart agricultural strategy CT needs for clean locally produced energy and organic grass-fed, pasture raised food. 
 

Grazing For Good.

When you partner with us to take over your site's vegetation management contract, you are also partnering with us in making a real difference for people in need. Over 50% of the proceeds, along with the meat and fiber products produced from these solar grazing operations are used to help feed and clothe the food insecure, and homeless population in the same areas these solar sites are located. The rest of any "profit" is used towards operational costs and further capital investment into expanding our operations to help more people. Help us be a part of the solution. 

Dual use energy and food production is just the beginning, together we can also create more wool products to help those without a home that fight the cold New England winters survive the elements. 

This, is proper land and animal stewardship and a way we can "Love Thy Neighbor".
