The role of a Guardian is to reduce mental health stigma in agricultural communities by fostering mental health conversations with farmers who may be in distress and connect individuals with appropriate mental health and crisis resources.   \n  \nWe invite you to join us in creating a supportive agricultural community here at home and register for our upcoming Guardian Network training\, being offered on November 27th at 206 Toronto St. S\, Markdale\, Ontario. The training is in person and will run from 9 am to 4 pm\, lunch will be provided. This training is open to anyone over the age of 18 who have direct relationships with the farming community.  \n  \nRegister today at: https://io9lude6dc6.typeform.com/to/NciSMVxK

SUMMARY:Regenerative Grazing Field Day at Hawk Feather Farm
DESCRIPTION:Join the Ecological Farmers Association of Ontario (EFAO) for an insightful afternoon at Hawk Feather Farm\, where we’ll explore their regenerative approach to grass-fed beef and pork production. Take a guided tour of the farm and learn about their sustainable methods for improving soil health\, enhancing biodiversity\, and raising livestock regeneratively. \nHighlights include: \n\nA walkthrough of pasture management techniques that improve ecosystem function.\nAn overview of animal husbandry practices that focus on ethical\, regenerative grazing.\nInsights into how these approaches contribute to healthier soil\, animals\, and food systems.\n\nWhether you’re a farmer\, homesteader\, or someone interested in regenerative agriculture\, this field day will provide valuable knowledge and inspiration. \nWhen: October 3rd\, 1-3 PM \nWhere: 270 Caron Road\, Timmins\, Ontario \nRegister HERE \nAbout the hosts \nHawk Feather Farm was established in 2008 by John and Lois Caron\, who started their first organic market garden on a 1/4-acre plot of their 65-acre property. They introduced non-certified organic vegetables at the Mountjoy Farmer’s Market\, catering to consumers seeking healthier alternatives to conventionally grown produce. Within three years\, they expanded to one acre of irrigated vegetables and two acres of organic potatoes. In 2011\, they launched the first CSA in Timmins\, supplying 65 members with fresh produce until 2014. During this time\, they also began raising organic\, pastured chickens and pork. By 2014\, Hawk Feather Farm transitioned from vegetable production to focus on their dream of raising grass-fed beef through holistic land management\, or regenerative farming\, utilizing most of their 65 acres. Starting with five cows and a bull\, they expanded their herd to 60 cattle by 2016\, grazing on 150 acres\, including rented land. They continue to maintain 100% local farm gate sales. At Hawk Feather Farm\, perennial grasses are transformed into high-quality protein and fat by cattle raised on untreated pastures. Their regenerative farming practices mimic the natural behavior of wild herbivores through rotational grazing\, promoting soil\, animal\, and human health without synthetic fertilizers\, insecticides\, or pesticides. \nPreparation \nPlease come prepared for any weather (cool and wet or hot and sunny)\, and wear proper footwear appropriate for muddy and uneven terrain. \nThis field day is supported by funding from the Federal Economic Development Agency for Northern Ontario.

SUMMARY:Organic Amendments and Cover Cropping Webinar
DESCRIPTION:This webinar and the following submission of field surface photos to AAFC’s Residue Measurement Survey are an OSCIA-recognized Knowledge Sharing Event (KSE) for farmers with On-Farm Climate Action Fund (OFCAF) projects in the Nitrogen Management and Cover Cropping categories. \nJoin OSCIA for an informative webinar on Organic Amendment Management and Cover Crops. \nFirst\, we’ll be hearing from Kevin Eisses about his organic amendment and cover cropping practices. Kevin operates Hewitt Creek Farms Ltd. in Innisfil and builds on a family tradition of dedication to soil health. In 2004 Kevin purchased a compost turner to help fine-tune his anaerobic composting process. As his operation has grown he has had to source municipal compost on top of his on-farm compost. Kevin is an ONFARM cooperator and his trial compares the use of organic amendment (solid municipal green bin compost) and multi-species cover crops. \nThen we’ll hear from Janet Harrop who operates Harrcroft Acres alongside her husband\, Ian\, and family. With the help of their kids\, the Harrop’s manage over 100 head dairy farm and 700 acres where they grow corn\, wheat\, soybeans\, and hay for their cows’ feed. Janet is passionate about family\, animal welfare\, farming\, and building a sustainable future through the decisions she makes right on her farm. She is a leader\, taking on a Living Lab research trial in her backyard where she works alongside Dr. Claudia Wagner-Riddle to study the impact of nutrient management practices on greenhouse gas emissions. \nFinally\, we will be hearing from Sam Schultz (AAFC) about the uses of satellite imagery in agriculture! She will also cover how to use AAFC’s Residue Measurement Survey where farmers can submit photos of their field surface to help improve interpretation of satellite imagery. \nEvery submission to AAFC’s Residue Survey\, enters you in a chance to win one of ten $250 Visa Gift Cards! \nPlease note\, to qualify as a KSE\, farmers must attend this webinar AND make 1 submission (of 3 field surface photos) to AAFC’s Residue Measurement Survey.
