Whole-Farm Stewardship: Buffers, Perennials & Biodiversity – registration closed
June 18 @ 4:30 pm - 7:00 pm
| FreeStewarding your farm as an interconnected landscape is both deeply rewarding and undeniably complex. At Indian Line Farm, this approach is taking shape through the integration of perennial plantings, native species, pollinator habitat, and managing ecologically disruptive, or invasive, plants – all as essential elements of a resilient, whole-farm ecosystem. Join us for an on-farm networking event and farm tour where farmers can connect, share experiences, and see firsthand how these practices are being implemented across the landscape.
Together, we’ll explore how Indian Line Farm is transforming buffer areas into intentional, productive spaces that support biodiversity while contributing to the farm’s overall viability. Along the way, we’ll discuss the benefits of pollinator habitat, and how whole-farm thinking can strengthen soil health, improve water infiltration, and support resilient organic management systems. Come ready to ask questions, exchange ideas, enjoy a local meal, and learn alongside fellow farmers working toward more integrated, ecologically grounded farms.
Event at capacity. Registration closed.
About
Indian Line Farm is a 17 acre farm growing vegetables, herbs, flowers and fruits. They have been working with NOFA/Mass partner Evan Abramson at Landscape Interactions since 2019: first to develop a large Pollinator Garden at French Park in Egremont and more recently at the farm. As part of the Healthy Soils Action Plan, they have implemented a pilot project using buffer areas to plant perennials specifically for attracting native bees as well as increase production capabilities for farm income.
About the Project:
This event is sponsored by the Transition to Organic Partnership Program and the U.S. Department of Agriculture and co-sponsored by NOFA/Mass.
