Free and includes dinner! 

Join us at Benson’s Pond Cranberries & Family Farm for a look at building on-farm fertility through fermented plant & fruit inputs. This casual education and networking session will explore how  foliar fertilizers and amendments are made, applied, and tracked over time, using both mineral and biological testing. 

We’ll dig into the methodology, pricing, and observed benefits after 5 years of use in a transitioning system: what’s worked, and what’s still evolving. Out in the cranberry bog, we’ll observe plant & soil conditions as indicators of biological activity and health.

We’ll touch on shared water considerations and the realities of moving toward organic certification, and close with time to connect, share experiences, and continue the conversation with fellow growers. 

This session is designed for fellow cranberry growers as well as anyone who is interested in developing on-farm fertility strategies rooted in biology.
