SUMMARY:Kirkview Farms Rotational Grazing Field Day
DESCRIPTION:At Kirkview Farms\, Cora\, Mike and their team practice regenerative agriculture – raising grass-finished beef\, pastured poultry\, goats and pork in a way that prioritizes animal welfare and environmental sustainability while producing high-quality meats. \nJoin us for a half-day field day to learn how the Kirkview team uses rotational grazing to improve the health and welfare of their livestock\, reduce input costs and care for the soil. You will also get a chance to check out some of the tools they use as regenerative farmers\, including a demonstration of how electric bikes can be used as a climate-friendly tool in moving livestock across acreage. \nCora and Mike will give an overview of the grass fed market\, grass fed genetics\, pasture forages\, grazing plans\, fencing and water supply\, as well as logistics and timing of rotating the different groups of livestock through the paddocks. No matter what type of farming you do\, you will learn something during this field day! \nPreparation \nFeel free to bring your own bagged lunch for a community picnic after the tour. \nParking \nPeople are welcome to park at the farm. \nAccessibility information \nPortable washroom will be available. \nThis event is an OSCIA-recognized Knowledge Sharing Event (KSE) for farmers with On-Farm Climate Action Fund (OFCAF) projects in the Rotational Grazing Systems category. \nThis day is presented in partnership with Farmers for Climate Solutions and with funding support from the On-Farm Climate Action Fund. \nIn order to make our training and community building events accessible to all farmers and future farmers in Ontario\, EFAO strives to reduce financial barriers for registration by using a Pay What You Can model.
