"Had I known just how much fun it would be to explore and volunteer at Rock Bottom Ranch, I would have ventured into this inspiring world of sustainable agriculture long ago.   I am amazed at just how much happens there on any given day & how much I am able to & see learn as soon as I set foot on the property.   Did you know that goats can help eradicate thistles by eating & actually enjoying the spiny part of the plant?"

 - Carol Hundert, RBR volunteer
