Incorporating Perennials: On-Farm Resilience & Organic Systems Plans
August 24 @ 10:00 am - 2:00 pm
FreeClick here for more information.
Have you been interested in learning about different types of Organic Systems Plans (OSPs) and how to use them to build on-farm resilience? Or wonder how you might be able to increase your potential for producing added value? Join Foxtrot Farm’s Abby Ferla in discussing their process of planning their fields for the year. From creating pollinator habitat, storing and sinking water & limiting erosion, to planting climate resilient crops, Foxtrot has been testing it out – all in a certified organic manner.
Our field tour will not only include an equipment demonstration for 2 types of walking tractors, well suited for small-scale organic systems, but Foxtrot is also home to a certified organic process for valued added products – right on farm, no commercial kitchen needed. Come join us for some insight into this unique and dynamic organic farm, bringing your questions and curiosity.
Accessibility: Foxtrot Farm is located at the top of a large hill, about a quarter mile walk. If a participant’s mobility is limited, driving up the hill is an option. You are welcome to inform us of any other accessibility needs or preferences including sight, hearing, scents or language.
