Farm & Forest Consulting
Practical, hands-on farm consulting from Evan & Maggie Taylor of Meadow Rise Farm, Knox NY.
Rooted in the land. Guided by Experience.
Evan and Maggie Taylor have spent years building Meadow Rise Farm into a thriving, pasture-based operation in the Helderberg foothills. What they've learned along the way, through trial, observation, and deep respect for the land, they're now offering to others. Whether you're just starting out or looking to refine what you already have, their consulting is grounded, honest, and practical.
-
Healthy land is the foundation of everything. We help you read your landscape, assess soil and forage health, manage woodlands, and build a stewardship plan that works with your land.
-
From selecting the right breeds to the daily rhythms of animal care, we share what we've learned raising pigs, chickens, turkeys, and ducks on pasture and how to source animals with confidence.
-
Invasives can quietly undo years of land work. We'll help you identify what you're dealing with, prioritize where to focus first, and build a realistic long-term management plan.
-
Starting from scratch or rethinking your current setup? We'll walk through the full picture with you: infrastructure, water, animal integration, and the rhythms of a working homestead that sustains both the land and the people on it.
Consulting can take the form of on-farm visits, phone or video calls, or ongoing seasonal guidance. We listen first, then work through what makes sense for your specific land, goals, and situation.
