Ba Baa Shangri La

Overview

Each spring Newfoundland farmers in my community take their sheep by open boat to a predator free island for sustainable grazing. The herd grazes on lush grass, drinks from freshwater springs; and exists without human intervention. The seasonal consumption of the grass along with the manure has maintained a yearly supply of lush organic pasture. Before the winter freeze the sheep are collected along with their healthy new born lambs. This joy filled, sustainable tradition has been practiced for generations.
