The Benediction & The Forgiveness of Grass

The Benediction & Forgiveness of Grass: The grasses, forbs, legumes, trees, shrubs, vines and branbles are a treasure trove of nutrients and phytoceuticals. Thousands of secondary metabolites are produced by multiple plant species toprotect them from adversaries and to attract pollinators. These lipid soluble compounds accuminate in the fats and proteins of grazing livestock, contributing to the culinary “terroir” that makes food artesianal. They provide a “farmacy” of medicinal compounds that confer numerous health benefits to livestock and their human beneficiaries. Jerry’s DVDs about agriculture include “Keys to Herd Health and Holistic Veterinary Care”.
