Come learn how Woven Roots Farm’s no-till practices are integral to their commitment to co-creating a more resilient community.

Throughout the day we will:

• Learn how Woven Roots Farm’s community and educational efforts are complemented and supported by their ecological practices.

• Learn the essentials of bed prep in a no-till, permanent bed system for both direct seeded crops, transplants and successive crop production.

• Discuss ways in which these management practices can nurture the soil and prevent and alleviate issues including soil compaction.
