SUMMARY:Cultivating a Farmer-Led Regional Agroforestry Transformation
DESCRIPTION:Join NOFA-VT\, along with NOFA-Mass\, CISA\, and others\, for a regional gathering of agroforestry farmers seeking to dive deeply into relationship-building\, regional connectivity\, and food systems transformation. \nOver two days and multiple shared meals\, agroforesters from across the Northeast will come together to learn from one another\, build connections and relationships across state lines\, and collectively visualize a regional agroforestry transformation. Together\, we’ll learn from innovative farms thinking outside the box to develop the regional capacity for viable tree crop economies and explore the potential these systems have to transform our agricultural landscapes and our food system\, all while supporting organic practices and boosting the health of the soil and of native pollinators. \nOur first afternoon will be held at Yellowbud Farm in Northfield\, MA\, where we will explore how the farm is reimagining the landscape of tree crop genetics and planting stock across the Northeast. The following morning\, we’ll reconvene for collaborative working sessions that focus on intentionally strengthening our regional agroforestry network. \nIn the afternoon\, we’ll travel to Big River Chestnuts in Sunderland\, MA\, and Meadow Fed Lamb in Hadley\, MA\, where we will learn how these farmers are building functional value chains and ecological economies for specialty tree crops and are considering how to strategically build out the processing capacity\, genetic resources\, and equitable markets needed to move this movement forward. \nThis event is an opportunity for experienced tree-crop farmers and agroforestry practitioners to broaden and deepen their regional relationships\, acknowledge challenges\, dive deeply into collaborative problem-solving\, and exercise collective visioning around a regional food system transformation. \nLearn more & register
