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?

SUMMARY:Bounty in the County: Ecological Farms in PEC
DESCRIPTION:Join EFAO for a day in Prince Edward County that’s not to be missed! Three fabulous EFAO farms will open their doors for a tour in late July. Join us for one\, two or all three stops! \nThe afternoon will kick off at Fiddlehead Farm\, where farmers Heather and Stephanie will walk you through their operation from seed to CSA bin. They’ll share notes on the simple\, inexpensive DIY farm building options that have gotten them through their first fourteen years of farming and dreams of next steps. During an in-depth farm tour\, they will also share about learning from mistakes\, keeping curiosity alive\, and continually improving their systems – a framing that has led to greater satisfaction in farming for themselves\, the team\, and their customers. \nReturn to Earth farm is the second stop\, where participants will have a behind-the-scenes tour of their rotational grazing systems for farm-raised lamb\, pork\, poultry and rabbit. Owners Ben and Kate will also talk about their maple syrup production\, homemade soaps\, and other value-added items. \nAt the final stop for the day\, participants will start with a farm raised and made dinner at Paper Kite Farm. Following a shared meal\, Farmers Hans and Judy will give a farm tour of their diverse multi faceted farm and the ecological production practices they employ. The tour will include a conversation about and look at production of their value-added products\, on-farm camp operations\, and aspirations for a more secure local food system. \nParticipants can participate in one\, two\, or all three farm tours. Entry to Paper Kite Farm includes a dinner ticket.
