Background
The overarching goal of these meetings is for no-till farmers to see other no-till farms in action throughout New England, learn from one another by diving deep into specific topics of each host farm, get to know one another and build community, and discuss what successes and challenges look like on our farms. These meetings are geared toward farmers who are growing using no till, ecological practices or are actively transitioning to these methods. Let’s take lessons from our fungal friends and network.
