Join us for our Go Nuts springtime discussion where the group will be sharing plans and ideas for the upcoming growing season, as well as how to keep them alive and thriving. Fertility plans for agroforestry settings can be challenging due to a variety of factors, including: conditions for successful establishment, large pieces of land that may require different approaches in fertility, or how to keep costs down for organic-minded growers.

We love to hear about the different goals and arrangements of agroforestry sites in our region! Share your story, and listen in. What are you planting, or what have you planted? How’s your soil? Are you purchasing or making amendments? What about those foliar sprays?  If you are seeking feedback from others, looking to discuss your successes or improve your methods, or learn from your agroforestry peers, this call is for you!

Go Nuts is our informational and conversation-rich agroforestry call. During this call which takes place every other odd month, we will discuss all things related to agroforestry, from planting and tree establishment to infrastructure and consumer access. This includes insight into the variety of species of trees and shrubs and their various applications as well as discussing more technical elements such as soil health or animal integration. All of these discussions are grounded in the relevancy of agroforestry as a unified food systems solution, and how it can help sustain our environment, improve soil health and boost community resilience. Our goal is to provide an informative and entertaining experience for our participants, so don’t hesitate to call in with questions or comments. We look forward to hearing from you!

Topics include:

• Types of Agroforestry
• Soil health for perennial systems as different from annuals
• Marketing and consumer outreach of tree crops (buying, eating, etc.)
• Grant and funding opportunities
• Planting and tree establishment/care in pre-production years
• Harvesting and post-harvest handling

Join us every first Thursday of the odd months (Jan, March, May, July, September, November) at 7pm EST.
