Kurtland Farms

Kurtland Farms

Elverson, PA

Chesapeake Bay Watershed – Dairy cows are the source of two products: milk and manure. At Kurtland Farms, manure is a carefully managed resource that grows crops on 250 acres. It’s important to keep those manure nutrients on the fields rather than washing off the land during storms, so practices such as manure injection, cover crops, and buffers are used to benefit both the farm and the environment. Even runoff from barn rooftops is carefully managed!

Roughly 40 minutes south of Rochester, NY, Noblehurst Farms carefully manages manure to maximize its use as a crop fertilizer and keep it where it needs to be—on fields and in the soil, rather than washed into local streams.
