Maintaining a healthy farm ecosystem improves soils and mitigates the impacts of severe weather events. Join Chuck Currie and Marie Kaziunas of Freedom Food Farm for a tour of their hand-scale no-till market garden and greenhouses, tractor-scale reduced tillage grain/vegetable/forage rotations, rotational grazing system, and compost production. Talk about how these systems provide the tools they need to build organic matter, increase biological activity, and protect the soil, while reducing dependence on off-farm inputs. They’ll also share observations on how these systems can increase crop health, yields, and consistency. The workshop will be followed by a potluck social hour. Please bring a snack or drink if you are able.
