February 16, 2025: Field Walk with David Fisher

Join local farmer, David Fisher for a pasture walk and soil improvement presentation at Fabric of Life on Sunday, February 16th from 4-7pm. David has been the lead farmer at Natural Roots Farm in Conway for decades using draft horses.

The afternoon will begin with a field walk to assess the Fabric of Life vegetable garden and the lower field, which was plowed with oxen and planted with broom corn, wheat, and pumpkins in 2024. The group will then move into the Farmhouse living room to warm up by the fire while David shares his approach to soil improvement through mineralization, crop rotation, and cover crops. At the conclusion of the presentation, we will share a light supper with plenty of opportunity for hearty discussion.

This workshop is appropriate for beginning farmers and home gardeners, as well as growers with many years of experience.
