Is it a crop? Or is it something else entirely? The answer is a little complicated. Incorporating certified organic mushrooms into your operation can offer an opportunity to diversify cashflow and markets. Dive into the standards with one of Rodale Institute’s organic regulatory experts\, Zach West\, to learn more about how these fungi can benefit your production. \n Name* \n First \n Last \n Email* \n Zip/Postal Code* PhoneThis field is for validation purposes and should be left unchanged. \n Δ \nCompleting this form signs you up for electronic communications from Rodale Institute.

In the world of grocery\, it helps ensure communities maintain access to food\, even after an owner exits the business. \nOften\, business transitions create opportunities to think creatively and partner with the local community. That’s why in Part Two of the Rural Grocery Succession Planning Webinar Series\, Kansas State University will dive deeper into community-supported grocery ownership models. \nWhat are the characteristics of various grocery ownership models\, and how do communities decide the right fit? Join to discuss these questions and more.

After receiving a B.S. in Agricultural and Ecological Sciences from The Evergreen State College in 2009\, Erik coordinated the South Puget Sound Small Farms Program with WSU Extension and Mason Conservation District; providing education\, research and farm planning/technical assistance for producers in the region. Erik relocated to Pennsylvania in 2015 to work with the USDA Agricultural Research Service at the Pennsylvania State University while working towards a Master’s in Ecology. His research focused on alternative riparian buffer and water quality management strategies for enhancing ecosystem services within agricultural landscapes. During this time\, Erik developed and managed a diversified agroforestry farm while co-coordinating outreach and training programs on agroforestry opportunities specific to the Northeast/Mid-Atlantic region. Erik is excited to join the Savanna Institute and the Midwest community in discovering\, developing and promoting resilient and regenerative models of agroecosystems for the Midwest and beyond.

The history\, community assets\, expertise and lived experience of BIPOC communities are undervalued and undercapitalized. The additional financial hardships created by the pandemic further highlight the need for community-led solutions to capital access. \nThe EFOD Collaborative exists to challenge these barriers and lead a shift to a community-driven framework for equitable finance. Now is the time for community-based practitioners of color to change the conversation on how private capital can be deployed in ways that really meet the needs of communities.

Please register if interested and share with your networks! Any questions can be directed to info@marbleseed.org. \nThis is an event supported by an NCR-SARE grant\, and we have funding to offer stipends to interested farmers. For more info and to register\, visit the event page here: https://marbleseed.salsalabs.org/marbleseed-teaching_for_transformation/index.html \nOverview: This day-long training will highlight the process of designing educational environments for adult learners. Based on popular education with its focus on dialogue and interaction versus presentation of information\, this will be a day of interaction\, practice\, and reflection. Together we will explore building communities of practice and creating educational resources for adults within the context of required content. Space is limited.

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:20260506T015016 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.
