Wednesday, May 22: The first session of the year-long Regen Ag Mentorship Program (RAMP) presented by Holistic Management International will be held at Mt. Folly Farm. Wayne Knight and Larry Dyers will be teaching “Precursors to Grazing” & running a “Safe to Fail” workshop where we get to observe what very high density grazing for a short period with long recovery time looks like. Learn more on our Facebook event, and register here.
Tuesday- Thursday, June 11-13: SilvoPro is a 3-day training for producers, agricultural professionals, and technical service providers who want to take agriculture to new heights by implementing silvopasture. Mt. Folly is glad to collaborate with Rural Action to host Austin Unruh and his team at Trees for Graziers for this 3-day training, held at United Plant Savers. Silvopasture is the managed integration of trees, livestock and forage.
- Visit working farms that have implemented silvopasture at scale
- Dive deep into the process of developing silvopasture plans
- Interact with a cohort of fellow practitioners
- Learn how to spread silvopasture in your region
- Open up real professional opportunities.
There are limited spots for this 3-day training! If you are interested in ONLY attending day two, when we will be visiting silvopasture sites in southeast Ohio, you can purchase tickets for just that day. Register here.
Friday-Sunday, Oct. 25-27 : Second Annual Heritage Food Festival will be hosted in southern Ohio this year rather than at the farm. On-site camping festival with music and workshops, or stay at a nearby hotel and come for the day. The mission of the fest is to build skills among people in the Ohio River valley for raising processing preparing and sharing food in traditional ways to improve the health of our people and our land, and to prepare the way for a capable response to an uncertain future.
