Congratulations Montgomery Sheep Farm

Sun Raised Foods is proud to announce that Montgomery Sheep Farm has won The North American Agrivoltaics 2024 Solar Ranch of the Year award. This is an annual campaign to discover, elevate, and celebrate outstanding achievements in the advancement of dual-use solar development in North America.

The Montgomery Sheep Farm is situated on a 200 acre tract of land in Biscoe, NC surrounded by forests of pine. They employ rotational grazing techniques throughout the property to minimize overgrazing, improve flock health, and maximize regeneration of organic matter in the soil.

The property previously served as a hunting lodge, and many of the original structures remain intact and have been repurposed for the farm.

In addition to operating a bed and breakfast, working farm vacations for families, and facilities for weddings and business retreats, the property also serves as a demonstration research site for those interested in sustainable agriculture and off-grid living.

According to the NAAA website: The Montgomery Sheep Farm demonstrates how solar farms can be designed and operated to accommodate agriculture, agritourism and rural hospitality.
