This event is free and dinner is provided!

Join Just Roots and NOFA/Mass for a farmer-to-farmer field walk exploring how soil health practices can take shape on a small, diversified production farm. We’re coming together to share practical knowledge: this is an opportunity to share real-world experience—what’s working, what isn’t, and what we’re all still figuring out. 

Together, we’ll walk the farm and look closely at a few of our current experiments & systems, including:

• No-till beds, within a mixed till/no-till production system
• Native pollinator plantings, as part of a soil-building strategy
• Perennial hedgerow strips (apple, dogwood, beach plum) integrated into annual fields 
• Trial-and-error lessons from running a high-value small farm while building soil

This is a casual, farmer-led exchange. 

Come with questions, ideas, and your own experiences to share.  

After the tour, we’ll gather for a light dinner & a conversation about how this work connects to the Healthy Soils Action Plan.
