Partner Stories: Finicky Farm

“We can raise local, grass-fed lamb in there while producing renewable electricity. I love sheep, but I love that bigger picture story even more.” With their herds of sheep and goats Jesse and Desiree Robertson-Dubois are able to replace landscaping work normally done with mowers with a sustainable solution that takes advantage of the microclimates under solar arrays.
