Their rotational grazing methods benefit the land and give the animals access to almost 100 different plants. \"Nearly everything out there is nutritious to those cows at the right time, even the weeds. There might be beautiful grass below, but sometimes they want something in that blackberry leaf,\" Pete says. In addition to running his farm, Pete is always willing to share his farming practices with others, and Kelly often helps with local community food groups. Peter and Kelly received the Organic Valley Gen-O award for outstanding young farmers in 2008.","photos":[{"photo":"fileadmin\/img\/wyf\/nw\/Mahaffy_RiverBend1.jpg","caption":"Pete and Kelly Mahaffy with their kids"},{"photo":"fileadmin\/img\/wyf\/nw\/Mahaffy_RiverBend2.jpg","caption":"Jersey calves"},{"photo":"fileadmin\/img\/wyf\/nw\/Mahaffy_RiverBend3.jpg","caption":"Pete and Kelly Mahaffy"},{"photo":"fileadmin\/img\/wyf\/nw\/Mahaffy_RiverBend4.jpg","caption":"Their Jerseys enjoy a varied diet from rotational grazing"},{"photo":"fileadmin\/img\/wyf\/nw\/Mahaffy_RiverBend5.jpg","caption":"The Mahaffys were 2008 Gen-O award winners"}],"videos":[{"video":"gcBiNkGvEwM","caption":"The Mahaffy family shows us why they are organic."}]},"pools":["Dairy"]}]}
