We will meet on the farm at 10:00 a.m.\nPrice: FREE\nDuration: 3 Hours\, light snack and drink included\nBelow is a description of the farming enterprise. \n“We believe that when we look to nature as our guide\, we can produce nutrient-dense food in a way that restores and regenerates the soil and our ecosystem versus depleting it.\nOn 60 acres of land south of Bogalusa\, we are building our farm from the ground up (literally)! Because grazing animals (especially ruminants like cattle and goats) on pasture and silvopasture can actually sequester carbon back into the soil\, our name reflects our mission to practice regenerative agriculture methods that reverse global warming and climate change rather than contribute to it.\nWhen we bought the 16 acres of land that has become Local Cooling Farms in 2014\, it had no house\, barn\, or structures of any kind on it (today we also lease 44 acres adjacent or our property\, too). It had been left fallow for years as a failed subdivision prior to decades of conventional row cropping. Needless to say\, this type of agriculture almost completely stripped the soil of nutrients. The wooded half of the acreage hadn’t been managed in years\, either\, so it was dark\, overgrown with invasive species like Chinese privet\, full of swarms of mosquitoes and beautiful oak trees were at risk of being crowded out by weak\, diseased\, broken and generally less desirable trees.\nOn the pasture\, we got to work rotating hogs and chickens to eat and trample down overgrown shrubby plants\, drop nutrient-rich manure and scratch and peck (chickens) or root (pigs) the top layer of soil to kick up a dormant seed bank and introduce vital nutrients back into the soil.\nWe tasked a herd of goats to both graze the pasture and help us begin clearing shrubs and trees in the woods and turn the land into viable silvopasture. Today we also graze a small herd of beef cattle seasonally as the pastures have returned to better soil health and can grow more palatable grasses and forbs that the cattle like to eat!\nTo direct rainfall in low laying areas\, we dug some ponds\, which quickly turned into one of the most amazing areas of the land. When we first arrived at the farm\, we didn’t even hear field crickets\, or see many birds of any kind. By digging the ponds\, filling them naturally and rotationally grazing the livestock around it\, we’ve seen (and heard) a whole slew of wildlife return: crickets\, katydids\, beetles\, frogs\, toads\, snakes\, turtles\, birds of all kinds\, including egrets and migratory ducks\, and even fish in the pond (which get there as eggs\, transported on the legs of birds!).\nThe farm is also home to our composting and garden soil mixing\, screening and bagging operation. Our main inbound waste stream is coffee grounds from an iced coffee concentrate company that we blend with pine fines and/or hard wood mulch to create our different soil and compost blends. We also have a vermiculture and vermicomposting operation and compost the chicken litter (manure and bedding) from our chicks and pullets. We raise our juvenile chickens in a deep litter system from one day old to 5 months old when they move out to their mobile chicken coops on pasture.\nLocal Cooling Farms URL:https://regenerativeagideanetwork.org/event/winter-field-day-with-local-cooling-farms-regenerative-agriculture-in-louisiana/ ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://regenerativeagideanetwork.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/LCF-Chix-1-rotated-lOHhg4.tmp_.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Grow For Food":MAILTO:monica.stephanie.clark@gmail.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20230118T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20230118T170000 DTSTAMP:20260407T144640 CREATED:20221104T212325Z LAST-MODIFIED:20221115T193423Z UID:11235-1674036000-1674061200@regenerativeagideanetwork.org SUMMARY:The Agroforestry Symposium DESCRIPTION:Every year\, the Center for Agroforestry at the University of Missouri (UMCA) hosts a public Symposium to grow connections and raise awareness about important work happening in our field.

The training is a combination of recorded lectures\, live classes to discuss and apply learnings\, and panels featuring leaders from across the country doing this work. You’ll walk away from the training with new terminology\, tools and frameworks to help you strengthen\, evaluate\, and communicate about your work – plus some new friends! You can learn more about this training and our work in value chain coordination here.   \nThe live sessions will take place from 3-5 ET/12-2 PT every Wednesday from June 14th – July 19th (skipping July 5th). Between each session\, we’ll also ask that you watch one or two pre-recorded videos that provide the foundational content for the course. This training is a big commitment\, so we ask that you only apply if you anticipate being able to attend all of the live sessions and watch recorded videos in between.   \nThis course is designed for people who are building relationships and networks to strengthen market access for farmers and increase the availability of local food. If you have been working on making connections between producers and buyers\, convening local food systems actors\, providing technical assistance\, or innovating new ideas\, this course is for you!  \nApply here! We’re seeking applications until May 5th for this course. We’ll be prioritizing applicants who identify as Black\, Indigenous\, or a Person of Color. We’re also looking for folks who are actively working on value chain coordination right now. If you have any questions\, please send an email to FSLNinfo@winrock.org with “VCC Training” in the subject line and we’ll do our best to get back to you ASAP.   URL:https://regenerativeagideanetwork.org/event/application-deadline-value-chain-coordination-training/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20230510T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20230510T160000 DTSTAMP:20260407T144640 CREATED:20230429T103909Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230429T103909Z UID:12834-1683730800-1683734400@regenerativeagideanetwork.org SUMMARY:FSLN Evolution: Exploratory Research Call #1 DESCRIPTION:The Food Systems Leadership Network is eager to flourish as a member-driven\, resilient\, and equity-centered network.
