SUMMARY:Rotational Grazing in Ottawa Valley with Dobson’s Grassfed Beef and Opeongo Springs Homestead
DESCRIPTION:Join two fantastic farms to learn how their rotational grazing and environmental stewardship practices intersect in the holistic management of their farms. \nBob Dobson has spent nearly 50 years planting trees on his family farm near Cobden. What began as a memory of trees providing shade on a farm laneway has grown into a passion for reforestation\, and influenced his farming practices along the way. Bob and his partner Eva manage Dobson’s Grassfed Beef\, which currently has about 50 head of cattle but over the years has had as many as 400. Their farm management practices include restoration of a riparian buffer to protect water quality\, solar watering systems to keep cattle out of the creek\, rotational grazing\, and planting up to 1000 trees each year – adding up to over 40\,000 trees planted and counting. Participants will hop on a wagon and learn how for this farm\, environmental stewardship\, human and animal health\, and food production are inextricably linked through their ecological practices. \nOpeongo Springs Homestead came to rotational grazing from the other end of the farming spectrum\, purchasing their farm outside of Eganville and taking over a herd of 20 Texas Longhorn cattle just four years ago. They have since grown their herd to 54. Natalie and Kyle emphasize sustainable and ecological grazing practices – including rotational grazing and silvopasture – ethical treatment of animals\, and local\, healthy food production. They recently received Ontario Soil and Crop Improvement Association (OSCIA) funding to improve their rotational grazing system. With this funding\, they added a solar powered water trough that moves with their herd and temporary fencing materials\, all of which will be included in the tour. These allow them the flexibility to move their herd more frequently\, giving pastures more time to recover. The organic matter in their pastures is extremely low\, but in the short time they have been rotational grazing in this location\, they have seen it improve. \nThe tour will also include a look at their recent addition of pigs to their grazing system\, who are working hard to clear an overgrown area to become additional pasture\, and highlighting this farm’s emphasis on matching animals to environments that suit their needs while also improving the land. In addition to their livestock\, visitors will have the opportunity to visit their self-designed one of a kind (and beautiful!) barn and farm store. \nDriving time between the two farms is approximately 35 minutes. Participants are responsible for their own transportation. \nTicket price includes participation in both tours and light refreshments. \n\n12:45PM – 1:00PM: Arrive to Dobson’s Grassfed Beef\, 1907 Snake River Line\, Cobden\n1:00PM – 3:00PM: Farm tour at Dobson’s Grassfed Beef\n3:00PM – 3:45PM: Travel to Opeongo Springs Homestead\, 2290 Opeongo Road W\, Eganville\n3:45PM – 5:30pm: Tour at Opeongo Springs Homestead\n5:30 pm: Departures\n\nThis event is offered in partnership with the Farmers for Climate Solutions’ Farm Resilience Mentorship Program (FaRM) is an OSCIA-recognized Knowledge Sharing Event (KSE) for farmers with On-Farm Climate Action Fund (OFCAF) projects in the Rotational Grazing Category. \nPlease visit the EFAO event website to register.

SUMMARY:Field Day on Manitoulin Island at Three Forks Farms & Martin Farms
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an in-person field day featuring tours of two outstanding farms on Manitoulin Island. \nWe will start the morning at Three Forks Farms – a certified organic farm owned and operated by Peggy Baillie and Eric Blondin. Since establishing their farm in Northern Ontario\, Peggy and Eric have been committed to producing high-quality food while caring for the land\, supporting biodiversity\, and helping build a strong local food system. The farm produces a wide range of vegetables and raises chicken for direct sale to customers in northern Ontario. \nThe day will begin with a tour of the farm and gardens\, where Peggy and Eric will share how they work with the land and the changing seasons to produce healthy\, nutritious\, and high-quality food. We will also visit the on-farm store and learn how direct farm-gate sales have shaped their operation. \nBiosecurity Notice: All participants will be required to complete a boot wash at Three Forks Farm before the farm tour. \n  \nFollowing the tour\, participants can enjoy their packed picnic lunch at Three Forms Farms before travelling to Martin Farms. \n  \nIn the afternoon we will visit Martin Farms\, which is owned and operated by the Martin family (Jim\, Birgit\, Nick and Alex) and is dedicated to producing exceptional beef while caring for both their cattle and the land. On the farm\, they raise both traditional grain-fed and grass-fed beef and their approach is the same for both: a great breeding program for their cattle\, dry-aging their beef\, raising cattle as naturally as possible\, and being very picky about quality control. Join us for a behind-the-scenes tour to see how these practices are implemented on the farm\, tour their pastures and learn how they manage feed and pastures to produce high-quality beef. \n  \nAgenda for the day: \n10:00 am – 12:00 pm: Farm tour at Three Forks Farms. \n12:00 pm – 12:50pm: A lunch break will take place between tours. Participants are encouraged to bring their own picnic lunch to eat at Three Forks Farms. \n12:50pm – 1:30pm: After lunch\, participants will drive to Martin Farms (approximately 36min drive) \n1:30 pm – 3:30 pm: Tour of Martin Farms. \n  \nFunding support for this event has been provided by the Federal Economic Development Agency for Northern Ontario. \nThis event is also offered in partnership with the Farmers for Climate Solutions’ Farm Resilience Mentorship Program (FaRM) is an OSCIA-recognized Knowledge Sharing Event (KSE) for farmers with On-Farm Climate Action Fund (OFCAF) projects in the Rotational Grazing Category.. \nPlease visit the EFAO event website to register.

SUMMARY:Rotational Grazing Webinar with Sarah Flack [VIRTUAL]
DESCRIPTION:Join FaRM and Perennia for a 90-minute free webinar where we will dive into all things grazing. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis session will include information on the basic guidelines of good grazing management and information on how perennial pasture plants grow both above and below ground\, how that relates to soil health and how grazing management decisions create more productive and higher quality forages.  \nWe’ll also discuss how to modify management when weather gets very dry\, hot or there are high rainfall events. Once we have better pasture growth and quality\, we can focus on methods to maximize pasture intake by the herd or flock to lower feed costs while using the livestock as the primary tool for improving plant and soil health.  \nWhen? Wednesday\, Aug 19 @ 5:30 pm -7:00 pm EST (*please note this event is hosted virtually from the Atlantic Time Zone\, registration materials may be provided in AT) \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nREGISTER HERE \nRegistration closes August 16th \nRotational Grazing Webinar with Sarah Flack is an OSCIA-recognized Knowledge Sharing Event (KSE) for farmers with On-Farm Climate Action Fund (OFCAF) projects in the Rotational Grazing category.

SUMMARY:Grazing for Grain Growers: You Don't Need Livestock with Lyndsey Smith VIRTUAL
DESCRIPTION:Grazing for Grain Growers: You Don’t Need Livestock with Lyndsey Smith\n\n\nTuesday\, July 7 @ 9:30 PM EST [7:30 PM CST] \n\nWhat if you could get the soil health benefits of grazing without owning a single animal? \nThis webinar explores exactly that. Join SaskSoil for a conversation with Lyndsey Smith\, agriculture communicator (RealAgriculture) and co-founder of Shady Creek Lamb Co. Lyndsey and her partner Chris Moore have spent nine seasons grazing utility-scale solar sites across Ontario — and four years working with grain farmers to extend the grazing season well into winter using grain ground. The results have been a win for both the land and the producers involved. \nREGISTER HERE: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/EtozmasNSjGmQXIB8QWWzQ#/registration \n\n*this live webinar event is recognized as OSCIA OFCAF KSE under BMP category Rotational Grazing \nPlease note\, if a recording becomes available following the event\, viewing the recording will not be eligible towards KSE credit.

SUMMARY:Field Day at Franklin Farm: Trials\, Transitions\, and Trade-offs
DESCRIPTION:Field Day at Franklin Farm: Trials\, Transitions\, and Trade-offs\n\n \n\n\nThursday June 18 @ 1:00 pm – 3:00 pm Online via Zoom – link will be sent to registrants\n\n\n\n\nLocated just five minutes from Lake Huron\, the 100-acre Franklin Farm consists of 50 arable acres\, 25 acres of pasture\, and a 25-acre riparian zone surrounding a creek and small waterways. Tom and Christine focus on managing the property’s diverse ecology with the help of a small cow calf herd and a 12-paddocks rotational grazing system. The arable acres are dedicated to growing organic grains and cover crops that continue to build the soil health across soil types that vary from heavy clay to sand. \nThis is a splendid opportunity to share insights into balancing a steep learning curve and a tight budget with a steadfast commitment to ecological health. \nCome dig into the nitty-gritty of small-scale farming\, including: \n\nThe Organic Transition: Navigating the organic certification process.\nRotational Grazing: Managing systems for cow-calf herds\, including fencing\, and water logistics.\nLessons in Cover Cropping: Discover what’s worked for soil health and what didn’t work for logistically.\nSmall-Scale Grains: Practical advice on marketing\, storage\, and choosing the right equipment without breaking the bank.\nKernza (Perennial wheat): Looking towards seed bulking for a future farmer-led research trial.\nOrganic No-Till soybeans: Find out how the first time planting soybeans into cereal rye is going.\nFarming for Biodiversity: Practical strategies for protecting Bobolink and Meadowlark nesting sites while maintaining a grazing rotation.\n\nIn the field: We’ll walk the fields to see the newly planted no-till organic soybeans\, check in on the winter wheat\, and observe the cow-calf herd during their early pasture rotation. \n\nJoin us for an afternoon at the Franklin farm as Tom shares the lessons from his early years of farming.
