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

SUMMARY:Designing and optimizing irrigation systems for drought resiliency\, water efficiency and crop quality
DESCRIPTION:May 27 @ 4:00 pm – 6:00 pm\nFree \n\n\nLocation: Pioneer Gardens Farm\, 425 Greenfield Rd\, Deerfield\, MA 01342 \nRegister here \nThis workshop at Pioneer Gardens in South Deerfield\, MA will bring farmers and irrigation system designers together to look at emerging irrigation practices that increase water efficiency. Participants will have the opportunity to walk through and discuss the irrigation systems at Pioneer Gardens that were designed and implemented under the direction of a professional engineer. \nThe on‑site discussion will include: \n  \n\nIrrigation water management using automated soil moisture sensors and an on‑site weather station\, with discussion of how to interpret data and translate it into real‑world irrigation decisions\nUse of pressure regulators across the system to maintain uniform flow and pressure\, a key factor in achieving even irrigation and minimizing over‑ or under‑watering\nMainline and riser layout designed with risers spaced at 42 ft 3 in\, coordinated with GPS‑guided tractor operations to improve efficiency and avoid interference with field work\nA large irrigation boom system using low‑flow\, low‑pressure rotating nozzles to achieve high application uniformity with reduced water use and energy demand\nAbove‑ground solid‑set irrigation using similar low‑flow\, low‑pressure rotating nozzles\, providing flexible coverage and consistent distribution\nAn upgrade from a fire‑truck‑based irrigation pump to a high‑efficiency\, automated electric pump\, improving reliability\, energy efficiency\, and operational control\n\nThe goal of this walkthrough is to connect engineering design choices with day‑to‑day farm management decisions\, showing how thoughtful system design can reduce labor\, improve crop quality\, and make irrigation more predictable during dry periods. \n\nThe event will include opportunities for farmers to share their own approaches to irrigation\, including discussion of labor efficiency and decision-making during droughts. We will also provide information on grants and other funding sources for irrigation and related infrastructure. \nFollowing the workshop there will be a networking session with a light meal. \nThis work is supported by the Northeast Extension Risk Management project award no. 2025-70027-45395\, from the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Institute of Food and Agriculture.
