Interested in land stewardship that centers tree and forest health alongside farming? Join us for a tour and discussion of the farm systems we’ve been developing and learning from for the past 13 years on 20 acres. We will share our successes and failures, and engage folks in discussion about future possibilities.
We will tour:
Willow trials where we are researching 12 varieties for their use to support healthy water, soil, and provide fodder for our sheep
Ongoing silvopasture management for sheep grazing; both shifting the composition of our woods as well as planting trees in pasture
Forest Farming of maple syrup and mushrooms
Tree nursery research we are doing to cultivate and amplify mycorrhizal fungi
10am - 2pm
Cost: Active farmers are FREE with support from NE SARE Farmer Grant, please indicate this on the registration.
Other agencies, non-profit, or curious folks we are asking $25/person, but no one turned away for lack of funds, get in touch if need be.
