SUMMARY:Complete Approaches to Fertility: Soil to Foliar
DESCRIPTION:Your farm’s fertility plan doesn’t have to be a guessing game. With the right tools and approach\, it can be grounded\, methodical\, informed and even fun. \nIn this full-day\, hands-on workshop\, we’ll explore practical ways to assess soil health and develop effective fertility strategies\, with a focus on agroforestry systems. The morning will center on building a clear\, functional understanding of soil health through biological\, physical\, and chemical lenses. Participants will practice simple\, field-based assessments to better understand compaction\, soil structure\, and nutrient dynamics\, and discuss amendment and management strategies that support soil function over time\, especially in degraded or transitioning landscapes. \nAfter lunch\, we’ll shift our focus to foliar sprays: liquid nutrient and biological applications applied directly to plant leaves. Foliar sprays can be a powerful tool on any farm\, and particularly in agroforestry systems\, where perennial crops\, young trees\, and compromised soils often benefit from targeted\, responsive nutrition. Used thoughtfully\, they can help support plant health\, improve nutrient uptake\, and reduce stress while longer-term soil improvements take hold. Participants will learn how to choose appropriate foliar strategies\, mix and apply sprays\, and evaluate their effectiveness in the field. \nRegister Online Now\nThroughout the day\, we’ll: \n\nAssess key soil health indicators such as compaction and nutrient needs\nUnderstand Big River Chestnuts’ approach to soil remediation and supporting young tree establishment\nEnjoy a delicious\, locally sourced lunch\nCompare different foliar spray methodologies and determine which are appropriate for your operation\nMix and apply a foliar spray in a hands-on demonstration\nUse application equipment and a refractometer to measure results in the field\n\nAbout Big River Chestnuts \nBig River Chestnuts (BRC)\, founded in 2018\, is a diversified agroforestry business operating on three properties totaling 81.5 acres in Sunderland\, South Deerfield\, and Easthampton\, MA. We grow chestnuts\, other tree crops\, and small fruits. Our goal is to aggregate crops from partner farms across Western New England at our developing tree crop processing hub in Sunderland.  \nThe farm integrates agroforestry through several practices: by grazing sheep and chickens under the chestnut trees (silvopasture)\, alley cropping with small fruits to optimize ecological benefits and windbreaks and riparian buffers. These regenerative practices enhance soil health\, increase climate resilience\, and support biodiversity\, while helping the farm meet financial goals. In addition the farm utilizes biological soil management such as use of microbial inoculants\, foliar sprays\, cover crops\, and diverse perennial understory mixes.  \nThey recently expanded their operation\, planting several thousand new chestnut trees as part of their growing agroforestry system. The newly acquired land is heavily degraded\, with compacted soils in need of thoughtful\, holistic fertility strategies. This workshop is a working example for how to restore soil health and support long-term tree success. \nAbout the Instructors: \nJono Neiger\, Big River Chestnuts; Regenerative Design Group \nJono Neiger is an agroforestry planner at Regenerative Design Group Cooperative\, a small worker-owned design and planning firm in western Massachusetts. Jono has 30+ years of professional experience in agroforestry\, permaculture\, ecological land and site planning\, conservation\, and restoration; working with clients widely around the US. He teaches agroforestry at UMass Amherst and has held positions as faculty at the Conway School of Landscape Planning and Design\, Restoration Specialist with the Nature Conservancy in California\, Land Steward at Lost Valley Educational Center\, and PDC instructor through Sirius Ecovillage. He authored The Permaculture Promise and operates Big River Chestnuts\, a chestnut agroforestry farm in Sunderland\, Massachusetts. \n  \nRubén Parrilla\, Soil Technical Coordinator\, NOFA/Mass  \nRubén is a Certified Lab Tech with 15 years of experience working at different capacities in the environmental laboratory industry. He trained in microscopic soil microbial identification through the Soil Food Web School and studied Environmental Design at the University of Puerto Rico.
