Farmers have a saying that “the secret’s in the soil”. Come learn how you can use cover crops to restore and sustain healthy soils.
About this Event

This workshop at Village Family Farms is a part of our Soil Health Workshop series and will explore the benefits of incorporating cover crops into your farm or garden. This workshop is designed for small-scale farmers and gardeners looking to harness the power of cover crops to improve soil health, suppress weeds, enhance biodiversity, and boost farm resilience. Participants will gain the knowledge and practical skills needed to successfully integrate cover crops into their farming systems, regardless of their experience level.

We hope you can join us!

**This event is outdoors on a working farm where you will be surrounded by nature. Ground and terrain may be uneven on the farm. We recommend comfortable shoes, sunscreen and a hat.**

This workshop will take place rain or shine. In cases of extreme weather, we will contact you 24-36 hours prior to the event if we need to cancel.
