Learn to Farm - Living Soil Workshop with Singing Frogs Farm

This spring we're excited to bring back our much sought after intensive, hands-on workshop.

We will dive into the science and mechanics behind our multi-award winning, no-till, agroecological, intensive and profitable farming methods. Build your ecology, both above and below ground. Learn how to farm with (and for) Mother Nature. Understand how, in using these natural systems, you too can increase your soil organic matter, crop nutrient density, and productivity.

The workshops will give participants the hands-on experience that, for many of us,

is the best way to learn... by doing. We will cover and discuss the following topics:

• Overview of our Intensive, No-Till Farming Model

• Basics of Soil Biology and Principles of Better Soil Health

• Establishing New No-Till Beds & Fields

• Seeding, Nursery Management & Crop Planning

• Compost, the Science and Application

• Bed Preparation, Transplanting & Multicropping

• Year-Round Production & the Management of No-Till Beds

• Alternate Methods for No-Till Bed Management

• Ecological Foundations, Hedgerows, Pollinators & Beneficials

• When & When Not to use Mulch: Options and Applications

• Tools for Non-Mechanized, No-Till Farming

We’ll spend an intensive day in the fields and send you home with new knowledge, skills and techniques for soil building, carbon farming and enhanced production as well as a dozen pages of notes on some of the nitty gritty details of our unique farming system.

The total cost of the workshop is $495. We offer three tiers of ticket pricing: Full Price ($495) Mid Price ($400) and Low Price ($345).

If you are a farmer and the Low Price of the workshop is an absolute barrier to your participation, please request information about our scholarships at info@singingfrogsfarm.com. We offer scholarships to lower the cost down to as low as $80.

The Full Price ticket includes $50 towards our scholarship program for farmers with a financial barrier.
