DESCRIPTION:Spring is the season for pruning and grafting\, two skills necessary for healthy trees. Pruning allows air flow through your trees to minimize fungal diseases\, and can cause old trees to fruit again. This workshop will cover pruning trees of all ages\, including recovery pruning for abandoned trees. Grafting allows for changes in the apple varieties that trees grow\, including having multiple varieties grow on one tree. Participants will practice grafting techniques and observe the outcome of grafts over time in the Bear Swamp orchard. \nCost includes a farmstead continental lunch. Workshops are capped at 12 participants; to sign up go to and buy a ticket online here. Contact us if you have any questions\, hope to see you.

SUMMARY:Embracing Earth's Diversity
DESCRIPTION:Joseph Simcox\, a botanical explorer and world food plant ecologist\, has spent decades traveling the globe documenting\, tasting\, and collecting the seeds of thousands of rare and underutilized edibles. Visiting over 100 countries and collecting the seed of 15\,000 crop varieties and wild species\, Joseph’s experiential knowledge lends a fresh analysis to how we can innovate agriculture in the face of climate change and reclaim a more balanced and harmonious relationship with the natural world. \nWith over 50\,000 known species of edible plants in the world\, it is befuddling to think that globally we depend on fewer than 20 to provide 90% of our food. Some estimate that in the last century alone three-fourths of all known food crops slipped into extinction. \nAre these crops irreversibly and irrecoverably lost? Not so! Learn how you can contribute to reviving crop diversity right here in the Pioneer Valley. In promotion of Joseph’s Garden Across America project he will be giving out FREE seeds from his Rare Vegetable Seed Consortium to passionate individuals and local organizations who are interested in growing out\, selecting\, saving\, and returning a portion of the seeds back to the project for further promotion. After all\, “the best seed bank is in the soil.” \nThis is an awesome opportunity to take home some truly unique heirloom varieties for those who are interested! \nTo learn more about Joseph and his projects check out these websites: \n·      explorewithjoseph.com\n·      gardensacrossamerica.com\n·      growrareseeds.com

SUMMARY:Farming in Community Conference
DESCRIPTION:This is a networking event and the first of what will be a series of ongoing discussions and events regarding farm-based communities and community-based farming in the Northeast. The goal of this event is to bring together farmers\, aspiring farmers\, community-experienced folks and community-seekers to connect and discuss viable community-based farming models.\n\n\n \n\n\nAre you a land-less farmer (or wanna-be farmer) who is eager to take the plunge into full-time farming but don’t have the resources to do it alone? \nAre you a firm believer in community living\, who seeks others to live in community with? \nAre you a farmer considering bringing other self-driven farmers onto your farm to live and work? \nAre you a farmer without a retirement/succession plan\, but wish to keep your land in production? \nAre you a landowner considering shifting ownership of your land to a non-profit/community-based organization? \nAre you looking for alternative ways to fund community/farm projects that don’t include mountains of debt? \nWould you like to live in an inter-generational ecovillage where you can plant thousands of trees that your grandchildren will some day enjoy? \nDo you aspire to be involved with large scale regenerative farming\, permaculture\, agroforestry\, silvopasture\, agritourism\, farm-based education\, etc\, but lack the resources to do it on your own? \n\n\nIf you answered “yes” to any of these questions\, this event is for you!!\n\n\n \n\n\nSo\, let’s get this discussion going. Let’s make connections and build a regional network. Let’s build a movement of solidarity and mutual aid among existing (and aspiring) farm-based communities across the Northeast. There will be a table for you to display information about your project or venture\, as well as regional breakout sessions to connect w/ people from your region.\n\n\n \n\n\nLunch will be potluck style. Please bring a dish. There will be no kitchen access\, so please bring any plates/bowls/cups/utensils that you will want to use. Lodging for the night is available by contacting Sirius directly. Questions/comments/RSVP can be send to farmingincommunity@gmail.com. Donations of $10-$20 welcome to cover event costs. Please contact us if you feel inspired to volunteer the day of the event.

SUMMARY:Workshop: Soil Evaluation & Amendment
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a crash course in understanding soil\, your garden’s lifeblood. We will discuss the basic components & characteristics of soil\, and how to identify them in your garden. Bring a soil sample\, and everyone will have the opportunity to evaluate your soil to discover its material & macronutrientcomposition (we will briefly discuss micronutrients\, but in this class we will focus on and test for Nitrogen\, Potassium and Phosphorus). We will then troubleshoot your results to determine the next steps towards improving your soil.\nPlease bring a soil sample of about 2 cups. To collect a soil sample\, dig at least 5 holes (6-8″ deep) staggered throughout the area to be tested. From each hole\, take a vertical slice of soil from the side of the hole. Combine all samples and mix thoroughly. Ideally\, samples should be dried. To dry soil sample\, place on a baking sheet in full sun or in an oven on the lowest setting until dusty. \nAdmission to this workshop is $35. For more information and to register visit The Haberdashery website. \nTaught by Melody Figge of The Haberdashery
