Have you been interested in learning about different types of Organic Systems Plans (OSPs) and how to use them to build on-farm resilience? Or wonder how you might be able to increase your potential for producing added value? Join Foxtrot Farm’s Abby Ferla in discussing their process of planning their fields for the year. From creating pollinator habitat, storing and sinking water & limiting erosion, to planting climate resilient crops, Foxtrot has been testing it out – all in a certified organic manner.
Our field tour will not only include an equipment demonstration for 2 types of walking tractors, well suited for small-scale organic systems, but Foxtrot is also home to a certified organic process for valued added products – right on farm, no commercial kitchen needed. Come join us for some insight into this unique and dynamic organic farm, bringing your questions and curiosity.
