Regenerative Farm Tour at Island Grown Initiative

Join us for a farm tour and talk about regenerative farming at the Island Grown farm. IGI has been trialing and implementing reduced tillage systems to build soil health and increase biodiversity on their 42-acre farm. Learn about IGI's multi-species cover crop and animal grazing rotations and innovative trials planting into living clover mulch. Check out their custom-built implements including a zone tiller and tarp winder, and other essential tools like the roller-crimper, chisel plow, and no-till drill. Bring questions and share your experiences from your farm. 

COST: FREE and open to all current farm employees. Dinner provided, registration appreciated. Sign up HERE.
