These are images from Erik's assignment in Poland for Heifer Project International. Erik covered a story on heritage breeds of farm animals that Heifer Project is working to save from extinction. Small farms throughout Poland are struggling to get out from under more conventional ways of raising animals, and these forgotten breeds of cows, geese, chickens, pigs, and horses have numerous qualities superior to those of their more commercial counterparts, especially in sustainable farm systems like the ones Erik visited.
