Farmers and homesteaders of all scales, join for a workshop to learn about and see silvopasture in action at Wild Roots Farm. Farmer Jon Turner will explain how they've integrated livestock and crops, building up their soil organic matter through rotational grazing and biomass. Of their ten acres, about 2.5 have been planted with 300 edible trees and shrubs. Also, view their forest garden and windbreak to mitigate the effects of high gusts. Jon will go over their planning process, including zones of use, land contours, and choosing tree species. This model can be scaled up or down, and attendees will leave with some tangible ideas for holistic planning. This workshop is supported by the Transition to Organic Partnership Program.
