The Weatherproof Farm
The Weatherproof Farm: Grazing & Mixed Operations
Monday, March 24th, 6pm - 8pm
Join us at our restaurant for a presentation, hosted by Niels Corfield, independent farming advisor. Niels works with producers and landowners to implement regenerative farming systems, enabling them to create low-input, profitable operations that are nature-friendly and productive.
Niels will explore how poor soil and pasture health is bringing systemic weaknesses to grazing operations, and what can be done about it.
