About this event

  • Event lasts 4 hours

On Nov 6, join Organic BC and the Small Scale Meat Producers Association for a few hours of learning and socializing at Fresh Valley Farms in Armstrong! 

Sit down for a panel and Q&A about the tools, strategies and seed sources that can help you make better use of cover crops on your farm. Then, follow up with facilitated small-group discussions and troubleshooting on topics relevant to farmers in this region, such as rotational grazing, cover cropping, soil health, labour challenges, owner burnout, extreme weather resilience and more.

After, all participants are invited to hang around, visit the on-site food truck and take a tour of Fresh Valley Farms (weather permitting).

This event is supported by the BC Climate Agri-Solutions Fund (BCCAF). Funding for BCCAF has been provided by Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada through the Agricultural Climate Solutions – On-Farm Climate Action Fund. BCCAF is delivered by the Investment Agriculture Foundation.
