Growing Organic Together Monthly Calls – May in the Northeast: Your Organic Growing Journal

Liz Hamm2025-04-30T14:24:04-04:00March 27th, 2025|NOFA/Mass Community Call, NOFA/Mass Event, Online, TOPP|

Looking to make the shift to or improve your organic growing, but don’t know where to start? Join our Growing Organic Together monthly calls! This is a supportive, welcoming space where people of all backgrounds come together to learn, share, and grow. Each month, we explore new ways to incorporate organic and sustainable practices into our growing spaces, with guidance from a variety of experts and a community that encourages growth and connection. Whether you're small or large scale farming, looking to improve your Organic Systems Plan or simply interested in the organic movement, you’ll find inspiration and support here. We will be centering topics of transition to Organic.

Spring is upon us! Is your Organic Systems Plan (OSP) up to snuff? Whether that's a yes or a no, this is a great space for growers and community members to network, share personal experiences, and offer support in their organic journey. We'll break up into circles where people can share their challenges, successes, and goals related to organic growing.

Soil Analysis, Carbon Sampling and Planting for Resilience

Liz Hamm2025-05-08T09:54:54-04:00March 25th, 2025|Farming, NOFA/Mass Event, Pollinators, Soil Health|

In this hands-on workshop, participants will learn how to accurately sample soils for comprehensive chemical analysis, including soil organic carbon (SOC) and nutrient profiles. We will analyze in situ the biological, physical and chemical properties of soils, including compaction, infiltration rate, soil texture and structure, surface biology, soil aggregate stability, root behavior, soil temperature and bulk density. This integrated approach provides a thorough understanding of soil health by combining quantitative data with qualitative observations. Participants will also have an opportunity to learn about Landscape Interactions’ collaboration with Indian Line Farm to transform a portion of their working landscape into a refugia for at-risk native bees, butterflies and moths through the incorporation of biodiverse, perennial and productive native plant communities - and help to install a portion of the design on site alongside the designers and farmers.
