Sound Farm: Michelle Canfield

Our Sound Farm award goes to Michelle Canfield of Canfield Farms. By relocating her sheep housing and feeding area out of the floodway and installing a waste storage structure, heavy use area, and roof runoff system, Michelle has helped protect water quality and provide her animals with a safe, dry place to bed down. As a French Creek Drainage District commissioner she pursues partnerships to improve habitat in the watershed and shares her knowledge through workshops and presentations. Michelle’s efforts exemplify a deep commitment to a healthy floodplain and a sustainable future for agriculture.
