We’ll visit the B Bar Ranch as an optional field trip during 2014 Summer National. This half day field trip will give us the opportunity to experience a unique version of what is best described as “wild west sustainability.” We’ll think you’ll be impressed with how they’ve woven together high-performance construction, photovoltaics, solar thermal and wind generation to keep their operating humming. Lunch will be provided on this scenic and savory field trip. Ranch-raised organic beef and vegetables are features of their healthy and diverse menus.
What They Say
“Established in 1906, the B Bar today manages a herd of Ancient White Park cattle (from which organic, grass-finished beef is sold throughout Montana) and operates a high-altitude organic garden and greenhouse featuring heirloom varieties of vegetables and herbs. The ranch is a place of spectacular beauty, and committed to protecting its unique and extraordinary environment in perpetuity.”
The Place
We’ll explore the stunning Tom Miner Basin during this outing. It’s one of the most gorgeous places in Montana.
