SUMMARY:Cycles that Feed the Farm and the Farmers: Soil\, Seed\, and System Thinking
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a rare opportunity to spend the day with renowned plant breeder and farmer-led researcher Duane Falk to explore how a thoughtful rotation and on-farm research can build soil fertility\, resilience\, and seed self-reliance. \nDuane will guide participants through his innovative 5-year organic rotation\, which includes breeding and saving seed from key cover crops like red clover\, rye\, winter peas\, and multispecies mixes. Tour five diverse field stops—including potatoes\, winter cereals\, and oats\, and dig into practical strategies for soil health\, low-input fertility\, and rotational planning that works well through time and space. \nDuane brings over 40 years of plant breeding and agronomy experience and a deep passion for improving methodology to reduce effort and increase impact. Now farming off-grid with his partner Vita near Hillsburgh in Wellington County\, he continues to implement farmer-led research with EFAO and Experimental Acres on topics like overwintering cover crops and nitrogen availability. Duane has also been an active participant of Erin Common Ground\, working together with other farmers and citizen scientists in his home community to build community and healthier soils. \nThe day wraps with a bring-your-own-lunch and community discussion on the machinery\, tools\, systems\, and mindset needed to farm ecologically and self-reliantly in a changing climate. \nBring your lunch\, your curiosity\, and your questions! \nHosted in partnership with Erin Common Ground\, and Wellington County’s Experimental Acres program.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhen? Thursday\, July 3 @ 10:00 am – 2:00 pm \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhere? Mimosa Breeding & Research\, 5965 Second Line\, Orton\, Ontario L0N 1N0 Canada \nCost? Free event! \nREGISTER HERE \nCycles that Feed the Farm and the Farmers: Soil\, Seed\, and System Thinking is an OSCIA-recognized Knowledge Sharing Event (KSE) for farmers with On-Farm Climate Action Fund (OFCAF) projects in the Cover Cropping category.

SUMMARY:Multi Species Regenerative Grazing with Up North Lamb Co.
DESCRIPTION:All Indigenous growers\, land stewards and community members are welcome to attend this field day free of charge! Please use the coupon code LAMB2025 when filling out the registration form to receive free admission. \nJoin us for a hands-on Field Day at Up North Lamb Co.\, where we’ll explore regenerative grazing\, aseasonal lambing\, and multi-species livestock management. Since 2021\, the farm has been converting intensively cropped land into pasture using portable electric fencing\, strategic grazing\, and livestock integration to build soil health and extend the grazing season. \nWhat We’ll Cover: \n\nSetting up portable paddocks & water systems for managed grazing\nDifferent grazing strategies (total grazing\, trample grazing\, stockpiling for winter)\nThe role of rest periods in pasture regeneration\nIntegrating multiple livestock species for land and animal health\nUsing CSA agriculture to grow a regenerative farm\n\nWhat You’ll See: \n\nSix classes of livestock\, including sheep\, cattle\, and poultry\nLivestock Guardian Dog management systems\nPastures in various stages of regeneration\nThree electric fencing systems & a DIY solar fence setup\nPortable water systems for rotational grazing\n\nBiosecurity Requirements: \nTo protect the health of our livestock\, we will have a boot wash station set up upon arrival. Please wear off-farm footwear that can be washed before entering the farm. For biosecurity reasons\, no one will be permitted inside the poultry pasture\, but we will be able to stand alongside it to discuss poultry management and production. \nThis event is a great opportunity to learn from experienced graziers\, see regenerative farming in action\, and connect with others passionate about sustainable livestock production. Whether you are new to managed grazing or looking for ideas to refine your own system\, this Field Day will provide valuable insights and practical takeaways. \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhen? Thursday July 3 @ 1:00 pm – 3:00 pm \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhere? Up North Lamb Co.\, Earlton\, ON \nCost? Members $10  Non-Members $15 \nREGISTER HERE \n  \nMulti Species Regenerative Grazing with Up North Lamb Co. is an OSCIA-recognized Knowledge Sharing Event (KSE) for farmers with On-Farm Climate Action Fund (OFCAF) projects in the Rotational Grazing category.
