SUMMARY:Soil\, Pasture\, and Dairy Cow Health Pasture Walk
DESCRIPTION:Join NOFA-NY\, Organic Valley and Triple Creek Farm for a discussion on pasture soil nutrients\, soil health and dairy cow health. We will discuss nutrient transport off our grass-fed dairy farms and what we need to do about that! We will cover minerals (ratios/ranges)\, plant health and possible inputs. After lunch\, graciously provided by Organic Valley\, we will head out to the pasture for a lively conversation about regrowth\, species composition and how our nutrients or lack of can influence what grows in our pasture.

SUMMARY:Air Pruned Raised Beds for Tree Seedling Production
DESCRIPTION:Join the Cornell Small Farms Program for a hands-on workshop introducing Air Pruned Raised Beds (APRBs) from construction to implementation. This session will cover APRB design\, build\, materials\, growing media\, seed sourcing and storage\, and how to implement tree propagation as an enterprise for your farm.
