Working Towards Better Soil: Farmer Exchange & Networking Event
Join Just Roots and NOFA/Mass for a farmer-to-farmer field walk exploring how soil health practices can take shape on a small, diversified production farm. We’re coming together to share practical knowledge and experience. This is an opportunity to share real-world experience—what’s working, what isn’t, and what we’re all still figuring out.
Together, we’ll walk the farm and look closely at a few of our current experiments & systems, including:
- No-till beds within a mixed till/no-till production system
- Native pollinator plantings as part of a soil-building strategy
- Perennial hedgerow strips (apple, dogwood, beach plum)integrated into annual fields
- Trial-and-error lessons from running a high-value small farm while building soil
This is a casual, farmer-led exchange. Come with questions, ideas, and your own experiences to share. After the tour, we’ll gather for a light dinner & a conversation about how this work connects to the Healthy Soils Action Plan.
