On October 11 and 12, 2024, Peaceful Terrain Farm and Thistle Creek Farm in Huntingdon County hosted a two-day grazing event with special guest speaker Dr. Allen Williams. Both farms are working to conserve soil using regenerative/resilient agriculture.

Dr. Williams is a founding partner of Understanding Ag, LLC, and the Soil Health Academy. He pioneered many of the early regenerative grazing protocols and forage finishing techniques and now teaches those practices and principles to farmers globally. Beth Futrick, PA Ombudsman in Blair County, organized the event.
