A collaborative event between Small-Scale Meat Producers Association and FarmFolk CityFolk. This event consists of intensive rotational grazing techniques and cover cropping.
Join us for an evening about integrated beneficial management practices you can use on your farm. Cover cropping and rotational grazing can help to build soil, sequester carbon, improve pastures and animal health, increase crop yields and create a diversified ecosystem where plants and animals can thrive. Join us online for a virtual tour of Fresh Valley Farm and participate in a Q&A with our farm host, Steve Meggait, and Executive Director of the Small-Scale Meat Producers Association, Julia Smith. Julia and Steve are grazing mentors with the Farmers for Climate Solutions and Canadian Forage and Grasslands Association Advanced Grazing Systems mentorship program.
