2024 will include six workshops held across the state. Each workshop has a different topic focus led by the farm manager. Many programs also include partner organizations who will share info on their work and participate in dialogue. Attendees will also receive an introduction to the Transition to Organic Partnership Program. All workshops are open to farmers, home growers, organic supporters, food system professionals, and/or interested community members.
Join Pete Endres, owner of Bird Dog Farm and Cider for a beginner to intermediate workshop on organic orcharding. Instruction will focus on organic orcharding issues and techniques, including weed and pest control, pruning, tree nutrition, and varietal selection. The orchard has 1,500 trees and over 20 apple varieties, all on dwarf rootstocks supported by trellis. The farm uses modern, high density growing techniques combined with certified organic practices. Varieties includes American heirloom, European cider, and fresh eating apples to be used in hard cider production and PYO. The workshop will include a farm tour / walk, presentation on topics by Endres, Q&A, and finish with a hard cider tasting in the newly renovated barn tasting room.
Connect with other farmers to network, learn about organic, problem solve, build relationships & share your voice! The roundtable meets monthly and each gathering has a different topic of focus. Attendees can help shape the topics we focus on and make this group time valuable to your professional development. These gatherings are free to attend.
