NEW DATE:

This tour has been rescheduled for July 11th. We apologize for any inconvenience!

This farm tour of ASD's alley-cropping site is a great opportunity to witness a young system that's already producing in a big way. This system, implemented in early 2024, is already producing woody cut florals, dahlia tubers, cut flower stems, and coppiced willow stems for weaving and conservation plantings.

We'll spend the morning on a guided tour and walkabout of the alley cropping site with live Q and A and time to network.

After lunch we'll head over to a new silvopasture site at young farmer Will Clark's property in Bristol, VA. The project was installed two years ago with the help of the #CatalyzingAgroforestry grant program and will transition the land over time from hay alley cropping to silvopasture with sheep using portable electric fencing. This site was designed for diversified, multi-story production, and integrates hazelnuts, hardwoods, and Virginia Pines with hair sheep, to support both ecosystem and animal health.

This event is Free, but registration is required. (This tour has a limited capacity, so please be considerate; only register if you definitely intend to attend.)
