SUMMARY:O'Brienview Organic Farm Tour
DESCRIPTION:What do you do when you have difficulty sourcing organic feed for your Angus cattle? If you are the O’Briens\, you invent a fully automated sprouting system that turns your organic seed into nutritious fodder!. \nJoin Farms at Work and O’Brienview Organic Farm for an afternoon exploring the ingenuity and problem solving that has gone into this conveyor system that produces over 700lb of new sprouts at a time. Learn how the system was designed and built\, the benefits of feeding sprouted fodder and how this system could integrate into your operation. Come with your curiosity and your questions! \nAbout the Hosts \nMore than three decades ago\, Pauline and Eric O’Brien started a mixed organic farm in Cameron\, Ontario. Today\, their 350 acre operation includes three generations\, a tomato seedling business\, an organic market garden and certified organic and pasture finished beef\, poultry and pork. Together\, they work with great devotion and passion maintaining and harvesting our fields\, crops and livestock. \nFor over a decade\, Farms at Work has been supporting the growth of resilient thriving farms that contribute to food security across east central Ontario and working to support farmers\, new entrants\, and farmland owners through education\, mentorship\, and research. \nGet Tickets here: https://farmsatwork.ca/obrienviewfarmtour/

SUMMARY:Growing Organic Grains and Exploring Plant Health with LoonSong Farm
DESCRIPTION:Join Farms at Work for a visit with LoonSong Farm and Fifth Wind Farm\, on July 14th from 6pm- 8pm for a 2-part farm visit. \nLearn about the ins and outs of growing organic grains in Northumberland County\, and also learn about how Brix testing can help you to measure plant health in your fields or gardens on any scale. \nPaul Salanki of LoonSong will share his experiences growing organic grains – How is it different from conventional cropping? Hear about cover cropping and crop rotations\, planting methods\, accessing seed\, and harvesting and marketing organic grains along with some of the challenges and complexities of this type of grain farming. \nPart 2 of this tour will take us into an adjacent veggie garden\, where we will discuss plant health (which is also a primary indicator of underlying soil health) measured by Brix testing\, and have the opportunity to try out the measurement tools with several different vegetable garden plants. We will also discuss ways to build soil health (and therefore plant health) in gardens and fields. Ordering of Brix testing instruments will be available.
