Farmer Field Tour - Alley Cropping at 1000 Stone Farm

Are you interested in seeing how alley cropping works? Join us for a field tour led by a local farmer who has successfully implemented this agroforestry practice. You’ll get a firsthand look at how trees and crops are integrated, with agricultural or horticultural plants growing in the alleys between rows of trees. The farmer will share practical insights on planning, establishing, and managing alley cropping for diversified farm income, increased crop production efficiency, and improved ecosystem functions. This is a unique opportunity to learn from real-world experience and ask questions directly to someone who’s put these practices into action.adoption.
