Hazelnut Agroforestry Field Tour
Join Nutwood Farm and NOFA/Mass to explore a small commercial hazelnut orchard and learn what it takes to transition land to tree crops, from developing a site plan, testing your soil, clearing land, selecting species of plants and animals, to working with mistakes and thinking ahead. They’ll walk us through how they got started and where they’re headed next, including embarking on investing in processing infrastructure and developing value-added food products as well as other marketable agroforestry products.
