The Enterprise — Marcello Iaia

Pamela Schreiber, owner and operator of the organic Eight Mile Creek Farm in Westerlo, laughs with John Santacrose, chairman of the board of directors for the Albany County Soil and Water Conservation District. They were on a tour of projects related to the conservation district Tuesday morning. With Schreiber, county officials designed a rotational grazing system, which moved her animals away from water sources on her land, constructed large “high-tunnel” greenhouses that extend the season of growing her produce, and wrote a comprehensive nutrient management plan for the farm.
