As the renewable energy landscape evolves, the integration of agriculture and solar power is emerging as one of the most compelling stories in sustainability. We invite you to join us for a hands-on exploration of a truly circular ecosystem. This immersive site visit to Montgomery Sheep Farm offers a rare, behind-the-scenes look at how traditional livestock management and cutting-edge solar infrastructure don't just coexist, they thrive together.

What You Will Experience

• The Lambing Facilities: Begin with a guided tour of the farm's active lambing operations. Understand the lifecycle of the flock and the high standards of animal welfare that underpin a successful agricultural enterprise.
• The Solar Array Walk-Through: Stand amongst the panels to see Agrivoltaics in action. Observe firsthand how the sheep serve as a "living lawnmower," maintaining the vegetation around the panels to reduce O&M costs while benefiting from the shade and shelter the modules provide.
• The Economics of Co-Location: Engage in discussion on the "dual-revenue" model. Learn how landowners and solar developers are creating diversified income streams that protect family farms and stabilize long-term energy projects.
• Farm to Table Meal: Run by sister company, Sun Raised Foods, enjoy a gourmet 4-course Farm To Table dinner using their lamb prepared by some of the state’s best chefs paired with the best wines. Dietary restrictions will be accommodated.
